Have you ever wondered what some of the ingredients are on the labels or your food. Here are what I call GMO “buzz” words when it comes to label reading. They are listed in alphabetical order.

A huge thank you to GMO Resistance for providing this amazing list!

If a non-organic packaged good has one of these ingredients listed below, it is likely to be genetically engineered. Look for Non-GMO Project certified products and ingredients that are listed as 100% organic on labels to avoid all GMOs in your diet.
