How can I be sure a product is non-GMO? (a.k.a is USDA organic also certified non-GMO?)

From time to time we receive inquiries about how being non-GMO relates to USDA organic certification. The great news is that if you have found a USDA organic certified vendor/product you like, then you can feel confident that it is also non-GMO.

Here are some exceedingly clear, unequivocal quotes from the USDA itself:

"No matter where it was grown, if a product has the USDA Organic label on it, it wasn’t produced with GMOs."
"The use of genetic engineering, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), is prohibited in organic products"
"Any certified organic operation found to use prohibited substances or GMOs may face enforcement actions, including loss of certification and financial penalties"
