Australian Company To Provide Certification Process For GMO-Free Products

A food product certification/accreditation company in Australia has established a subsidiary that will focus solely on guaranteeing that foods are genetically modified organism-free (GMO-free). GMO-ID, a unit of HACCP International Pty Ltd, will use the “Cert ID Non GMO” (Cert ID) certification system in Australia and the Pacific region. Farmers, growers, manufacturers, suppliers, retailers and foodservice businesses will be able to use the Cert ID system for certification; they will also be listed on the GMO-ID Web site. The creation of a GMO-free certification system reflects the growing demand for assurances that foods – particularly dairy products – and drinks are not tainted by genetically engineered ingredients.
