The True Food Network

I found this awesome source while on the look-out for ways to avoid GMOs. The True Food Network "works to protect human health and the environment by curbing the proliferation of harmful food production technologies and by promoting organic and other forms of sustainable agriculture."
I urge you to check out this link, as there is only so much I can summarize! This list gives us a compilation of major supermarket brands that don't use GMOs in their products! The list is divided up by brands that are entirely non-GMO, those with some non-GMO products, and those with no known organic or GMO brands.

Whole Foods brands 
365 Everyday Value

They also have a 17 page PDF that you can print out and take with you when you go shopping--it talks about the 4 ways to avoid GMOs at the store and lists brands that don't have GMOs. The first way, as we know by now, is to buy organic. The second tip is to look for labels that profess a non-GMO product. The third way is to avoid buying "at risk" products because they are mostly GM in our food supply--things with corn, soybeans, canola and cottonseed-- what some people call the "Big Four." The fourth way to avoid buying GMO foods at your local store is to take this guide with you. 

The list of products is extensive, especially the section on non-GMO dairy!

...And if you don't feel like printing out their entire guide, there's an app! It really can't get any more convenient than that!
