Non-GMO Shopping Guide Error???

I was skimming through the non-gmo shopping guide (get yours here for FREE: www.nongmoshoppingguide.com ) when I noticed than Snyder’s of Hanover is listed as being enrolled in the non-gmo project. I assumed that meant that they were gm-free, but I thought I’d ask just to be safe. (Literally, safe. GMO’s are seriously dangerous.)
I emailed Snyder’s of Hanover to double-check that their products were gm-free. As I awaited their reply, visions of long-forgotten potato chips danced in my head and tempted my tastebuds. Barbeque, plain, sour cream & onion. Yummm…..
I received their reply within a day or two. To my dismay, they told me that the only products that they could guarantee to be gm-free are their organic products sold online. *sigh*
If course organic is gm-free! There aren’t allowed to be genetically-modified ingredients in organic products.
Although I was disappointed, I was highly impressed at the company’s honesty. If they ever sell their organic products in stores, I’ll be sure to try them. Until then, I’ll just have to stick with my Terra Chips by the Hain Celestial Group. They’re good, but sometimes a bit too “gourmet”. Sometimes I miss the taste of plain potato chips and “regular” flavors, but I must say that the Pesto & Smoked Mozzarella Terra Chips are the best potato chips I’ve ever eaten! And they’re available in stores (Martin’s, Walmart, etc.)

They’re not organic, but they’re gm-free!
