WFM’s stance on GMO labeling?At Whole Foods Market, we believe that people 

have a right to know what’s in their food. That’s why we have set a deadline that, by 2018, 

all products in our U.S. and Canadian stores must  be labeled to indicate whether they contain 

genetically modified organisms (GMOs). 

Whole Foods Market is the first national grocery  chain to set a deadline for full GMO transparency.  Clearly labeled products help shoppers who want  to avoid foods made with GMOs to do so.

What products will be included in  your labeling standard? 

Our non‐GMO transparency initiative includes  all

food products we sell, going far beyond 

what any of the state initiatives and legislation  has proposed so far.  Products based on or 

containing ingredients created from  government approved GMO crops will need to 

provide full transparency. Not only that, but  our dairy and egg producers will also need to  verify whether or not animals were fed GMO  corn, soy or alfalfa.

Why have you just recently  announced you will be requiring 

label transparency?This is not the first step we’ve taken 

toward GMO transparency. Whole  Foods Market has been collaborating 

with many of its supplier partners for  years to source products without GMO  ingredients, and, we offer more choices  for shoppers who are looking to avoid 

GMOs than any other retailer.

Why have you just recently  announced you will be requiring 

label transparency?In 2009, Whole Foods Market began 

putting our 365 Everyday Value™

line  through Non‐GMO Project™

verification 

and encouraged our grocery supplier  partners to do the same. Now, only 5 years 

later, we sell more than 8,500 Non‐GMO  Project verified products ‐‐

more than any 

other retailer in North America.

Why have you just recently  announced you will be requiring 

label transparency?In addition to looking to our non‐GMO 

verified choices, shoppers who are  looking to avoid GMOs can also choose 

from the more than 25,000 certified  organic choices we offer companywide 

(organic certification prohibits the  intentional use of GMOs).

Why have you just recently  announced you will be requiring 

label transparency?Our 2018 commitment to full label 

transparency is the next step on the  journey. Our initiative will require full  GMO transparency on products that are 

based on or contain GMO risk  ingredients

Why have you just recently  announced you will be requiring 

label transparency?Our customers are becoming 

increasingly hungry for information  about GMOs and how to avoid products 

that contain GMOs, and have looked to  us to help provide the transparency 

they’re looking for.

How do you determine if products  are really non‐GMO?

At Whole Foods Market, we believe non‐GMO  verification needs to be robust, science‐based,  credible, and based on standards created by multiple 

stakeholders. Accordingly, we have designated two  methods of Non‐GMO Verification that we will permit 

as substantiation that a product can be considered  Non‐GMO within Whole Foods Market: 

Certified organic – which prohibits the intentional use of  GMOs, and 

The Non‐GMO Project Verified program
