Angelic Bakehouse, a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) certified bakery specializing in sprouted grain products, has received Non-GMO Project Verified status for its best-selling product, Sprouted Seven-Grain bread. The Non-GMO Project is North America’s only third-party source for verification and labeling of non-GMO food and products.
The Milwaukee-based company expects the remainder of its product line—including wraps, flatbreads and buns—to be Non-GMO Project Verified by the end of 2015. The bread’s “Smart & Good Looking” packaging will begin carrying the Non-GMO Project Verified seal later this month.
“Angelic Bakehouse is all about creating pure bread perfection—using the purest non-GMO ingredients and crafting them into something better through our unique sprouted grain mash process,” says Angelic Bakehouse CEO and President Jenny Marino. “We’ve always insisted on using non-GMO ingredients, but the verification process is another way for us to be transparent.”
The Non-GMO Project’s Product Verification Program designates a product’s compliance with the Non-GMO Project standards based on a variety of factors, including traceability, segregation and testing of high-risk ingredients.
