First, just let me state for the record I don’t work for Trader Joe’s, obviously. I’m just a regular consumer like you. So I am not shilling for them, just reporting information.
A reader recently sent a Comment in which he stated, as if it were fact, that Trader Joe’s ORGANIC SOY BEVERAGE use GMO soybeans. So I thought, let me research this. I spent all of 20 seconds checking if I could find anything. What I found is Trader Joe’s official statement regarding GMO’s as well as other things (see link below). Just for the benefit of all, I am re-posting what it says here but please go to their website and read for yourself what they state about Trader Joe’s policy on GMO ingredients, which I am just copying verbatim below from their website….

“Q: Do Trader Joe’s products contain GMO’s (Genetically Modified Organisms)?
A: Trader Joe’s Products are sourced from Non-GMO ingredients.
“Our efforts began in 2001, when we determined that, given a choice, our customers would prefer to eat foods and beverages made without the use of genetically engineered ingredients. When developing products containing ingredients likely to come from genetically modified sources, we have the supplier of the product perform the necessary research to provide documentation that the suspect ingredients are from non-GMO sources. This documentation is in the form of affidavits, identity-preserved certification of seed stock, and third-party lab results from testing of the ingredients in question. In addition to this work done in developing a given item, we conduct random audits of items with potentially suspect ingredients, using an outside, third-party lab to perform the testing.”
In summary, Trader Joe’s states they DO NOT use GMO ingredients in their products.
