Where is this imported from? I am looking for masa from Mexico since it is GMO free.

Now that I have the bag in front of me, it VERY CLEARLY identifies this as a product of Colombia, not Venezuela, regardless of which country most uses it. Colombia first allowed planting of GMO corn in 2007 and continues to allow it to this day. Therefore, especially because it is well known that non-GMO crops become contaminated GMO ones, one must assume that this indeed uses GMO corn. I'm throwing mine away.

the picture correspond to Harina pan. It is made out of corn to make arepas. it is a product from Venezuela. Harina Maseca de Mexico can be found in Safeway.

Pretty sure it is made in Colombia. I am not sure what their GMO policies are. If you find out let me know! :)

That product is imported from Venezuela. It´s made there and corn is from there too. That is a very famous product in that country and for all the world. It was invented and patented in Venezuela. It is a product of the Polar Enterprises.

I am not sure. I used it and it was a good product. However, I don't remember that it states anywhere that is GMO free. I switched to Doctor's Best Nattokinase as it is from organic soy (gmo free) and cheaper! It seems to be working fine.

Nothing on the bottle says anything about the sources. I would look at they website, it details manufacturing, standards, etc. They strive for non-GMO and have strict standards and an open plant to physicians. You could give them a call to confirm that products are not sourced from China. Hope this helps.

I would not assume that it is GMO free. Nowhere on the product is it stated that organic sources are used. The company website also says nothing regarding GMO status of their products.

Thanks so much GW for posting this. Although we have already posted this a few times before on our reviews section and in response to some of the questions posted here, we are re-posting this for everyone's convenience. The home of our Organic Matcha - both Culinary and Ceremonial - is now located in Shizuoka, Japan, within a tea region recognized by the United Nations as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. Harvested from a family-run tea farm in operation since 1915. Our farm has been certified organic since 2000, synthetic chemical free since 1994, and reduced chemical usage since 1975. Now you can enjoy great quality Matcha from the place it all began - Japan. Thanks again for posting. Unfortunately, there is no way to attach a file here. Once we've created a link to access our Radiation Test, Metal Test, and Organic Certification, we'll once again post them here. But please do email ashley@kissmeorganics.com if you have further concerns. Best, Ashley Evans KissMeOrganics

Here is the information I was able to get from the NOW FOODS website: "For example, pure natural vitamin C is produced from corn by only five production facilities in the world. None are in the United States, where GMO corn is all too common. All are from Europe and the Far East, situated in countries that (to date) have restrictions that do not allow GMO food corn to be grown there. Our producers have given us statements to confirm that their corn sources are non-GMO, but the documentation doesn't extend back to the farm level. Testing for GMOs has not found that any is detectable in vitamin C. We have done all that is currently possible to assure that our vitamin C is non-GMO, and continue to monitor the situation to ensure this is maintained in the future." Hope that helps :-)

Hello, On the back of the label it states Non-GMO. Hope this helps. Thanks!

I looked on the label and on the box. I cannot find anywhere where the manufacturer states that this product is non-GMO.

I am just examining the label now. It has a seal on the front "GMP Quality Assured." I looked for the words "non-GMO" and didn't find them BUT for ingredients, it says: "Contains no sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg, shellfish, polysorbates, preservatives, or titanium dioxide." This clearly says it contains no soy so I would not worry about GMO soy. The patented source is "Kaneka QH." I will check that out further but remember, the label says no soy.

Hello Dan, I am surprised myself that I never checked origin of material to produce this gelatin which printed on the package only "NOW FOODS" as Distributer. I looked their web site but I couldn't find very clear answer. Regarding of consciousness I sent mail to the company. They responded promptly. But i am still not sure Why they couldn't specified of "local maker"- whoever it is,they could make anything in same building their Factory without let us know of. "MADE IN USA"doesn't mean 100% safe that we should always keep in our mind too. You might have now more information than mine.if so,please share information to other consumers!

Unless the product is certified by the Non GMO Project don't count on it being GMO free. 80% of processed food now contains some GMO's. Beware of GMO's

WOW, excellent questions. The box says, "Blended and Packaged in U.S.A." so unsure as to where grown. Plus, it doesn't saying anything about having been tested for heavy metals and pesticides.

All the companies I contact are either GMO or made in China and repacked in the US. I bought this one that's more expensive, 34$ for a pound but at least I know it's non GMO, made in the UK and traceable back to the farm: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I78METCI'm very happy with it. It's much finer and dissolves much faster than the ones I've had before. This one doesn't upset my stomach like the other ones did either.

Hi, Excellent question. My bottle says it is distributed by Jarrow Formulas, Los Angeles, CA 90035-4317. They are based in Los Angeles and were founded in 1977 per their web site. Their website is www jarrow.com but I could not find where the individual components originated. Their customer service number is (310) 204-6936 open 7:00 am -6:00 pm pst. Their email for questions or comments is info@jarrow.com. I noticed on the bottle and their website they are committed to non GMO. Hope this information helps.

I think it must be gf or I wouldn't have been using it. Don't know about non gmo. I haven't bought any in a long time. Got some that had no flavor and switched to Callebaut and Guittard Grand Drinking Chocolate.
