As consumers express growing concern about the presence of GMOs in food and personal care products, the International Genetically Modified Organism Evaluation and Notification Program (IGEN™) provides independent verification to ensure product integrity and transparency
Products certified under IGEN are verified as Non-GMO Tested, confirming that the finished product or ingredient contains no detectable GMOs above program standard limits. The program supports accurate labeling, regulatory compliance and consumer confidence across dietary supplements, functional foods and cosmetics.
With thousands of certified products worldwide, IGEN helps brands demonstrate their commitment to quality, transparency and non-GMO integrity.
