Silk, a brand of Broomfield, Colo.-based WhiteWave Food Co., announced that all products in its beverage portfolio have been officially verified by the Non-GMO Project, a non-profit collaboration of manufacturers, retailers, distributors, farmers, seed companies and consumers dedicated to ensuring the sustained availability of non-genetically modified organism (GMO) food and beverage choices. Silk’s beverage portfolio includes Silk Soymilk, Silk Pure Coconut and Silk Pure Almond.
“While Silk has been using non-GMO soybeans since the brand’s inception 15 years ago, enrolling our soymilk, almond milk and coconut milk products in the Non-GMO Project was an important step in our commitment to providing consumers with sustainably produced, non-GMO plant-based beverages,” said Craig Shiesley, general manager for Silk, in a statement. “With our Non-GMO Project verification, consumers can feel confident purchasing Silk beverages knowing the products have gone through rigorous third-party verification of GMO avoidance practices.”
