Genetically Modified Organisms/Genetic Engineering

CCOF opposes the commercialization and use of genetically engineered (GE) crops and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) because of the environmental and potential health threats they pose to organic growers and consumers.

CCOF supports consumers’ right to know what is in their food through labeling of GE products. CCOF also works to keep GMOs out of our fields and out of our food in a variety of ways. The CCOF policy team has engaged with lawmakers to enforce mandatory labeling for foods containing GMOs, and advocates for farmers to be able to buy seeds that are free of GE sequences.
