Natural Candy Store .com All the FUN without the Funny stuff!™

We have three categories to help you identify GMO-free candy. For the differences between the Non-GMO Project Verified Candy and GMO-Free Candy (Unverified) categories, please click on their links below to learn more.

You'll notice the Organic Candy category is also included. This is because, at this time, choosing organic is one of the best ways to avoid GMOs. While testing for contamination is not required, USDA Certified Organic products are not allowed to contain GMO ingredients.

We look forward to updating these categories and adding more GMO-free candy to them as the Non-GMO movement progresses! (Or even better, we look forward to the day these categories are not necessary, because our food supply is GMO-free!)

What are GMOs?
GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism. Using a technique called gene-splicing, this biotechnology combines genes from different species, including plants, animals, bacteria and/or viruses to produce desired characteristics. Most corn and soybeans, among other crops, are now grown from GMO seeds. Since so many food ingredients are derived from corn and soy, the majority of our processed food supply contains GMOs.

What's wrong with GMOs?
Increased use of agricultural chemicals Most GMOs grown today are designed to resist herbicides like Roundup so more chemicals can be applied without killing the food crop. This increases the chemical load in our environment and food supply.

Super weeds and super bugs With time, weeds can adapt to the higher levels of chemical use, developing a resistance to the original pesticides. These uncontrollable super weeds are such a serious problem that they're putting some farmers out of business.

Uncontrollable contamination You can't stop the wind from blowing. Unfortunately, GMO crops inevitably contaminate their neighbors with cross-pollination. The long term impacts of GMOs are unknown, and once released into the environment these novel organisms cannot be recalled.

Negative health effects Studies show that GMO foods can be toxic. While there aren't any long term human studies, animal studies point to a multitude of scary health effects caused by a GMO diet.
