Abstract

A method of creating and preserving the identity of non-GMO seeds, grains, and processed food products by selecting seeds which are known to contain non-GMO varietes, planting the non-GMO crop, inspecting grower's operation and machinery to certify that the operation is free of contamination prior to harvest, harvesting the crop, inspecting the processing facility to verify that its operation is free of contamination prior to harvest, tracking all containers holding non-GMO crops each time the crop is moved, and processing the non-GMO crops into containers for shipment where the containers possess tracking information.
