Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)

Question: 

Can I use Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in my product?

OMRI refers to the U.S. National Organic Standards definition of genetic engineering at Title 7 Part 205.105 (e) and 205.2 Excluded Methods for review of input materials and processes. Ingredients that meet this definition are not allowed in OMRI Listed products or in certified organic production. More information on OMRI’s standards around GMOs and our GMO Decision Trees are included in the OMRI Generic Materials List©, which can be downloaded using the Manuals and Review Standards link located in the Applicant Menu when you log in to the website.
