North Haven, CT – SuperSeedz, one of America’s fastest growing healthy snack brands announced today they have received Verification by the Non-GMO Project for their entire product line of dry roasted, no shell, gourmet pumpkin seeds.

The Non-GMO Project is North America’s only independent verification organization for foods produced in accordance with its Standard for avoidance of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The organization uses a process that combines on-site facility audits, document-based review and product testing to verify compliance with the standard at every level of the supply chain, from manufacturing facilities to ingredient suppliers. The Non-GMO Project shares the belief that everyone deserves an informed choice about whether or not to consume genetically modified organisms.
