    It's pretty hard to avoid carcinogens. I don't even bother. They're in black pepper and nutmeg too. Just don't sniff it in mass quantities and you'll be fine.

    It is the Kashi cereals the ones that have GMO ingredients.

    I haven't found anything about their bars yet. I am pretty careful when reading labels and look for those that might have GMO ingredients. If it doens't say non - gmo, i stay away from it. Now I am going to research the granola bars.

    You can also choose organic. Certified organic foods cannot contain GMOs.

    Great, I just read the ingredients in my granola bar and it lists soy isolate. Going back to Costco. I'm not sure how I missed that soy isolate in the ingredient list. As a rule I don't buy anything soy or corn that doesn't state that is Non GMO.

    Stop buying crap at costco. That'll help.

    Yes, I also go for organic to avoid gmo. Can't remember if there any organic bars I have tried.

    It's going to be somewhat tough, the FDA does not require companies to list GMO on the labels yet.

    OH NO run for the hills, Kashi has the same stuff most of the stuff you put in your body can have... I hope no one on here freaking about the cereal likes to grills their meats or veggies...

    If you don't buy at Costco, then you don't know what they sell and what you are talking about. I buy only natural and try to buy organic when possible. I buy a huge part of my organic products at Costco. Costco has the usual crap people like to buy but they also have a very good selection of "100% Natural and Organic Products"

    Some products I buy at my local green store that are not organic do label if they are using non-gmo. I guess I am sheep because I tend to believe it. Specially since this green store doesn't support gmo companies. I guess when in doubt, buy organic.

    Surely the problem here is NOT that is is GMO - it is the fact there are traces of pesticides? Which can surely be an issue regardless of GMO status or not...

    Which one's did you try? The Go Lean (original) , the Harvest Wheat Cinnamon, and the Warm Cinnamon Oats do not have chikory or inulin (like some of the Fiber One flavors) .... Chickory ......phew!

    Unfortunately, some of us don't have many choices. My only choices are Walmart or starving...

    I have never really trusted "USDA Organic"
    To much politics for food makes me mad.

    Yea, I can't eat them because of the chicory. On top of the gas it also causes severe stomach cramping. No thank you!

Seven of our foods are now officially Non-GMO Project Verified including Autumn Wheat, Cinnamon Harvest, Island Vanilla, Strawberry Fields, 7 Whole Grain Flakes, 7 Whole Grain Puffs and 7 Whole Grain Pilaf. This is the first step in our phased approach, and we're committed to this journey!
