After all, do you really want fish genes in your tomato? Here are four simple shopping tips from <a title=\"Avoid buying GMOs\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nongmoshoppingguide.com\/SG\/TipsforAvoidingGMOs\/index.cfm\" target=\"_blank\">nongmoshoppingguide.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Buy Organic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Anything with a USDA <a title=\"organic foods\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/08\/an-argument-for-organic-cleanest-and-dirtiest-produce-items\/\" target=\"_self\">Organic<\/a> label cannot contain GMO ingredients by law.<\/p>\n<p><strong><!--more-->2. Look for &#8220;Non-GMO&#8221; <\/strong><br \/>\nYour safest bet is with products that carry the &#8220;Made with non-GMO Ingredients&#8221; seal shown here, because it&#8217;s third-party verified. However, some companies voluntarily label their products or limit their claim to one staple ingredient.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Avoid &#8220;At Risk&#8221; Ingredients<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re looking at a processed food that&#8217;s not organic and contains corn, soybeans, canola or cottonseed, the likelihood that it contains GMOs is very high. Also, beware of so-called &#8220;Invisible Genetically Modified Ingredients&#8221; like sugar that&#8217;s made from GM sugar beets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Use a Shopping Guide<\/strong><br \/>\nAlthough these guides may not have every product you search for, they have most major brands.
