GMO Foods: What are we eating?

GMO stands for “genetically modified organisms,” and foods that contain ingredients with GMOs are considered GMO foods.

Genetically modified food has quietly become second nature in the U.S. , and it may surprise you just how many foods you are eating that you never knew contained a genetically modified ingredient.

Experts say 60% to 70% of processed foods on U.S. grocery shelves have genetically modified ingredients. If this shocks you, a new USDA-funded survey shows you’re not alone. Attend this presentation to learn more and to ask questions about genetically modified foods.

Trudy Bialic, Director of Public Affairs/Editor for PCC Natural Markets, will be our featured speaker. Trudy has spoken extensively on GMO Foods and PCC is known for their diligence in selecting non-GMO foods to selling in their stores.

This presentation is being sponsored by Sustainable Burien.
