They even mislead, somewhat, with their non-gmo labeling :-(
....But how do you find that information on food labels? As of January 2022, genetically modified food products must be identified, according to the USDA, but it won’t say GMO. Instead, that ID comes in the form of a seal that says “bioengineered” or “derived from bioengineering.”
“Bioengineered” essentially means GMO. The USDA defines the foods “as those that contain detectable genetic material that has been modified through certain lab techniques and cannot be created through conventional breeding or found in nature.”
The government put this law in place for manufacturers, importers and certain retailers; restaurant foods and foods containing 5 percent or less of each bioengineered ingredient are exempt, according to Oklahoma State University. Plus, the choice of wording — leaving out “genetically modified” in favor of “bioengineered” — may confuse some shoppers, according to the non-profit The Non-GMO Project.....

Thanks for that! Following a link from that site to the non-gmo project has a list of non gmo food https://www.nongmoproject.org/find-non-gmo/
I don’t know how reputable this organization is, but it looks like a good resource. We grow all our vegetables (and some fruit I.e. cantaloupe) from heirlooms and planted 30 blueberry bushes a few years ago. But we are on 5+ acres. Most folks can’t do that, what will they do? I’ve been saving seeds each year for my neighbors but they have never shown an interest in a garden. And they do have the space.
I can’t even see most labels. I need a good looking glass.
