Know Your #Nonsanto

Written by April Davila on 01 March 2012.

We get a lot of questions about how to avoid Monsanto products. Honestly, it's really tough. 85% of processed foods contain genetically modified ingredients. To make matters more confusing, Monsanto has been buying up seed companies for over a decade, so buying organic does not necessarily mean you're buying non-Monsanto.

In honor of the second anniversary of the Month Without Monsanto project we present these fun info-graphics to you, our faithful readers - and we're asking for your help.

You'll notice there are only 4 companies on our Nonsanto food products list and 12 on our seed company list. We're hoping to grow that number. If you know of a widely available food product that has no ties to Monsanto, shoot us a note or use the #Nonsanto twitter handle to give us a heads up.

We will verify that it is in fact Nonsanto, add it to the list, and share it with you.

(ps - if anyone out there is interested in a Digging Deep internship, we could really use some extra (wo)manpower to sort through all this.)

Please add Wood Prairie Farm to the list :) Jim Gerritsen is the lead farmer in the OSGATA v Monsanto lawsuit and this is his farm. Love their seed - They're AWESOME! Also, if you haven't joined GMO Free USA, a consumer email initiative aimed to directly target food manufacturer's you can read about it, and get info as to how to join here: http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_25635.cfm
