One of the most powerful ways to promote a healthful life is taking ownership of what we put in (and on) our bodies. That's why we work so hard to offer our customers [organic and non-GMO botanicals ](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/quality-control?hsLang=en-us)they can trust!  

Thankfully, most of the herbs and spices we all use for food and herbal creations are not in danger of industrial genetic modification at this time, so [organic certification](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/principles/organic-agriculture) is our go-to standard for ensuring that our herbal offerings are grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, GMO seed stock, or irradiation.

While all of our products are rigorously [tested in-house for quality and purity](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/quality-control?hsLang=en-us), for offerings that carry an elevated risk of GMO contamination, we partner with the Non-GMO Project. This monitoring organization examines critical points in a product's supply chain to ensure that an herbal offering is not produced with any genetically-modified inputs. Non-GMO Project verification provides an additional, third-party layer of assurance that your herbal goodies are all-good! We know that that peace of mind means a lot to the folks who support us, which is why we continue to get more products Non-GMO Project verified each year. Check out the current list of [Non-GMO Project offerings from Mountain Rose Herbs](https://www.nongmoproject.org/find-non-gmo/verified-products/results/?brandId=8358), including two new additions for 2018 (indicated by an "*").
