Since 1984 when we opened our first store, Jimbo’s commitment and personal passion for organics has never wavered, as it is paramount to who we are. However, we now have another concern that we are equally passionate about. And this is the issue of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms). As an organization, we have taken a strong stance against GMOs, and a leadership role in the natural foods industry in trying to have products labeled as verified GMO-free. As such, we have decided to not bring in any new products that carry any at-risk GMO ingredients (see policy below). In doing this, we have refused a number of products that you might see at other natural food stores. While we understand that this may be an inconvenience to you, we hope you will also understand that we have made this decision with the welfare of you, your children (and mine!), and future generations in mind! Avoidance of GMOs(Genetically Modified Organisms). While we do not claim to be GMO-free, we are moving in that direction. Going forward, we will do our best to limit any products that contain GMOs. In that vein, we do prohibit ingredients that are most likely to contain GMOs. Specifically, at this time, we will not knowingly accept any new item with non-organic corn, soy, canola, sugar beets, alfalfa or potatoes unless that item is certified by The Non-GMO Project. This includes ingredients such as fructose, ascorbic acid, citric acid, and xanthan gum that are produced using corn or soy. We strongly encourage any manufacturer that is making a GMO-free claim to have that claim certified by The Non-GMO Project. This service will benefit both the consumer and the manufacturer. GMOs (or “genetically modified organisms”) are organisms that have been created through the gene-splicing techniques of biotechnology (also called genetic engineering or GE). This relatively new science allows DNA from one specie to be injected into another specie in a laboratory, creating combinations of plant, animal, bacteria, and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods. In 30 other countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and all the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production of GMOs, because they are not considered proven safe. On the other hand, in the U. S. the FDA approves commercial production of GMOs based on studies conducted by the companies who created them and profit from their sale. Many health-conscious shoppers find the lack of rigorous, independent, scientific examination of the impact of consuming GM foods to be cause for concern. According to the USDA, in 2009, 93% of soy, 93% of cotton, and 86% of corn grown in the U. S. were GMO. It is estimated that over 90% of canola grown is GMO, and there are also commercially produced GMO varieties of sugar beets, squash and Hawaiian papaya. As a result, it is estimated that GMOs are now present in more than 80% of packaged products in the average U. S. or Canadian grocery store. Let us mak
