GMO is short for “genetically modified organisms.” It is sometimes called genetic engineering and refers to a process where desirable traits or characteristics are introduced into an organism.
Bolthouse stands behind the science and safety of GMO’s. The overwhelming weight of scientific evidence indicates that GMOs are safe and that foods derived from crops using genetically modified seeds are not nutritionally different from other foods.
We know many of you want to know which ingredients we use are derived from these crops. Which is why we have listed them here.
GMO Ingredients: Xanthan gum, vinegar, caramel color, canola oil
Xanthan gum is a thickener used to blend our spices and ingredients to give a consistent flavor and appearance. It's made by fermenting corn sugar, wheat or soy.
Caramel color is a widely used food color made by heating sugar.
Canola Oil
Considered “good oil” with high amounts of unsaturated fats. In America approximately 90% of all canola oil is grown from genetically modified seeds. Farmers have been using these seeds for more than 20 years as they are safe, reduce costs, and improve yields.
