This processing can create combinations of plants and animal products that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods. Why do consumers feel differently? It may be because the guidelines around defining and labeling GMOs are not consistent in the industry. Because there is currently minimal regulatory guidance around GMO definitions, this leads to consumer confusion over some of the labels used to identify foods that contain GMOs and those foods and ingredients that do not.
We have identified that there is more consumer demand for food products that are labeled as non-GMO and that this consumer preference can drive the business decisions that you make while selecting ingredients and products for your foodservice and manufacturing operations. While communicating with our customers, we identify the definitions that we use when developing our products.
There are also strict regulations around the humane treatment of animals that bear the USDA organic seal. Animals must eat certified organic feed and cannot be treated with hormones or antibiotics and they must have access to pasture. Being verified means that the product does not include GMO ingredients but that does not mean the product is free from toxic chemicals such as glyphosate, dicamba or over other chemicals used in conventional food production.
To be verified Non-GMO a product goes through a third-party verification process. This is done through the Non-GMO Project, a non-profit organization that created its own set of standards.
This is different from USDA organic which has strict government regulations that are assessed and altered every few years to ensure that new pesticides are being researched and added to the list of prohibited substances and more environmentally friendly practices are being implemented.
The Non-GMO Project tests products and spot checks at different points in the supply chain along with yearly inspections for ongoing compliance. Whereas every organic farm, packing facility, processor, and distributor involved between the farm and market is inspected to verify compliance with the USDA organic regulations.

Genetically engineered and genetically modified are often used interchangeably when referring to varieties of crops developed by means other than traditional breeding. Genetic modification refers to a range of methods such as selection, hybridization, and induced mutation used to alter the genetic composition of domesticated plants and animals to achieve a desired result.
Genetic engineering is one type of genetic modification that involves the intentional introduction of a targeted change in a plant, animal, or microbial gene sequence to achieve a specific result. Now for a little more detailed answer. Scientists originally never used the term genetically modified organisms or GMOs to describe genetic engineering.
