GMO-ID Australia
GMO-ID Australia was launched in 2013 to deliver a leading European Non GMO certification system. We are a subsidiary of HACCP International Pty Ltd, a JAS-ANZ accredited body that has specialised in product certification for the food industry since 1998.
The development of new GM crops and claims that GM can solve global food problems are now common place. However, while consumers and retailers alike demand Non-GMO products, there is a global challenge to food manufacturers to protect the supply chain from GM contamination.
A Consumer Attitude Survey carried out by GfK NOP, which was commissioned by Friends of the Earth and GM Freeze, published in September 2010 concludes that of those surveyed:
• 72% would pay extra for Non-GMO Food
• 89% want meat from animals fed on GM feed to be labelled
• 66% would prefer to buy meat from animals fed a Non-GMO diet
The Non-GMO Standard is recognised within the industry as the benchmark for Non-GMO identity preservation. Its approach moves standalone Identity preservation systems based upon testing into a quality assurance approach, integrating HACCP with PCR testing as validation throughout the whole supply chain.
