non-GMO label
Unaltered crop designation
A non-GMO label indicates a food product contains no genetically modified organisms—ingredients whose DNA has been artificially altered in ways that wouldn't occur naturally.
The label appeals to consumers wary of genetic engineering in agriculture, though its presence often reflects marketing strategy as much as meaningful distinction: The non-GMO label on salt is pure theater, since salt has no genes to modify.
