The United States and Canadian governments do NOT allow companies to label products “100% / Certified Organic” if they contain genetically modified foods. (gmo-awareness.com) However, Hodgson Mill Organic Soy Flour has not been through the non-gmo verification process, so it does not carry the non-gmo logo.
