Items get labeled non-GMO even if there's not GMO varieties because uneducated folks think everything is GMO.....they even think wheat is GMO lol. Actually everything that we raise and grow is GMO in some form. None of the original varieties of everything we plant and eat is still in existence. Most folks don't know that pineapple, eggplants and Apple varieties are GMO, but they're "health foods" lol.I call bs on this. They claim the cost to genitically modify oats is too great, and the payback too little.
Viewpoint: Genetically modified oats don't exist—so why does Bob’s Red Mill sell 'non-GMO sourced' oats?
