Ferndale, WA – Barlean’s is first in flax oil sales nationwide, but now also the first manufacturer certified by the Non-GMO Project.

The Non-GMO Project is North America’s only independent verification for products made according to rigorous best practices for GMO avoidance. Barlean’s flax oil, highest lignan flax oil and cold-milled flaxseeds are in compliance with these Non-GMO Project standards wich include strict traceability and segregation requirements.

Barlean’s flaxseeds and oil are 100% certified organic and have always been sourced from non-genetically modified crops.

“Flaxseeds should be unrefined, unfiltered and unadulterated” says Barlean’s President Jim Springer. Adding, “Science can’t predict with 100% certainty what cause and effect genetically altering foods will do to our health long-term, why then wouldn’t we keep this nutrient- enriched food just the way nature intended?”
