BELLINGHAM, Wash., April 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Non-GMO Project announced that it now verifies non-GMO products for sale in Mexico. This comes on the heels of Mexico's efforts to ban imports of genetically modified corn for human consumption in products such as masa and tortillas, as well as the controversial herbicide glyphosate. This undertaking is the focus of intense pressure from U.S. federal authorities in agriculture and trade.

Key Points: 
  • The commercial cultivation of GMO corn is already prohibited in Mexico.
  • Mexican President Lopez Obrador has also set the goal of gradually substituting domestically grown non-GMO corn for GMO corn now imported for feed and industrial uses.
  • There is significant support for Mexico's food sovereignty among U.S. and international companies, NGOs and individual citizens who recognize that the future of food is non-GMO.
  • "The Non-GMO Project applauds Mexico's efforts to restrict genetically modified corn in their attempt to safeguard native maize varieties and preserve Mexico's cultural heritage," said Megan Westgate, executive director at the Non-GMO Project.
