Are these grits GMO-free?

The package says "All natural organically grown" to me that would indicate GMO free to me.

I spoke with one of the distributors last year and they told me they were working on the certification.

According to the company's website, yes, but you can contact them to verify.

USDA organic is defined, in part, as non-GMO. Hope that helps. The flour is great also!

I'm just a customer, so I don't know the answer to this question. I do know that they aren't organic(which means they definitely AREN't GMO). Also they aren't truly raw in the common vernacular( they are steamed) and even though they are called "sprout-able" they DON'T ACTUALLY SPROUT. I will not be buying them again.

No GMOs; they will be certified GMO free on the label in the near future as they are sold in Whole Foods which is GMO free

I cannot find anywhere on the bottle if it is GMO free but it is gluten free. I've bought this for years from the health food store.

As this is an organic product, the NOP rules state that no GMO is allowed. I would suggest you email Arrowhead mills to be totally sure.

In all the research I've done, everything I've read says it is GMO free. Reason being that it is grain free.

No. This product is not non-GMO. King Arthur Flours has non-GMO flour and I believe some non-GMO mixes.

I have not encountered a problem with microwaving these grits as per the instructions.

Since corn is the only grain involved in grits (and, hence, polenta), any brand of grits should be gluten-free. Even my gluten-sensitive daughter consumes these grits.In addition, Bob's Red Mill site specifies their grits are gluten-free.So, while I can't run scientific tests and guarantee it myself, I'd say, yes, Bob's corn grits is a gluten-free product.By the way, in order to make polenta from grits -- this is assuming you don't already know -- cook the grits per directions, and then pour them in to some shaped container. Let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate, covered (of course). Cut into chunks, pan-fry, and serve with eggs and bacon, eggs and sausage, or however you want it.Hope all this blather helps.

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.

They pretty much are the same. Grits are usually finer in texture. Just depends how the company grinds it. I grind my own corn into cornmeal to make polenta and get it works great.

The package states these are a vegitarian friendly supplement. The ingredients are listed as: Zinc 50mg (as zinc gluconate) - Other ingredients are: Cellulose, magnesium stearate (vegetable source), silica and vegetable coating. It also stated that it contains no sugar, salt, starch, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg or preservatives. Given this info I'd assume it's GMO free but it can't hurt to contact the company for confirmation. You can get info for this product at nowfoods(dot)com/1522 - I pulled all this off the bottle I have in front of me.

Straight from the Bob's web site:Are your products genetically modified? No. All of our products originate from identity-preserved,non-GMO seeds. This means thatthe seed planted in the ground is non-GMO. We do not guarantee the complete absence of GMO materials in our products because of wind drift, pollinators and our lack of testing equipment. And the stuff is GOOOOOD too. I use the gluten free masa every week to make tortillas.

Well to be fair, they have the usda organic seal of approval which I thought was supposed to be a pain to do, but I couldn't guarantee they are for sure organic. I've bought a couple of bags now from them, they taste good, but have only once mixed them w cereal etc n had any grit or anything to them. Don't know if any red dye has been added, sorry not much help. Those are excellend questions though. ..did healthworks have a response about it? Im curious about the red coloring now though

if the bag says white, then the grits are white. i too prefer yellow grits and having purchased them from all over the United States, the yellow stone ground grits from S.C. are the best. the Texas grits are ok but don't touch the S.C. grits, for reasons i do not know. be sure to keep them in the freezer as the corn will otherwise go bad rather quickly.

According to my research and their website, this is non-GMO. Dietary fiber is 15g per 28g serving size. I use this in all my gluten free baking instead of any other starch.
