Is it bad to eat GMOs? Not necessarily, as there is currently no scientific evidence to suggest GMOs cause health issues. Stay tuned though, the science is only about 30 years old. Why subscribe to a Non-GMO diet? It’s simply a matter of personal choice. For the same reason people choose to eat exclusively organic, there are folks who want to avoid GMOs and manage what goes into their bodies. These people want to make active food choices for themselves and restrict consumption of ingredients of which scientists are still studying the effects.
In order to provide a fair and accurate accounting of GMOs in our food, Mi Rancho® works closely with the not for profit organization, Non-GMO Project, as a third party authority to verify the Non-GMO status of our tortillas. We have worked closely with the Non-GMO Project to have 12 Mi Rancho tortillas labelled as Non-GMO Project Verified, including those developed for foodservice and retail consumers. Each ingredient is exhaustively vetted to assure no cross contamination and to authenticate its Non-GMO status. We are proud to display the Non-GMO symbol on our tortilla packages. Consumers are demanding transparency into their food source and Mi Rancho is proudly responding by giving consumers the information they need to make educated buying decisions.
As the lead of innovation at Mi Rancho, I know that we will continue to source the best ingredients available to supply our customers with high quality products that are safe and wholesome, maintaining a continued level of transparency. In the past two years that I’ve worked at Mi Rancho, we have made great strides in developing Non-GMO and Certified Organic products that not only meet the stringent regulations, but perform and taste delicious. I look forward to continuing this tradition of innovation to create new products that live up to the Mi Rancho reputation for making the world’s best tasting tortillas.
