Wake Up And Smell the Non-GMO Coffee

A white cup of coffee releases steam. Brown coffee beans are scattered underneath the coffee cup.

To start a long day of work or study, nothing beats the smell and taste of coffee. Unfortunately, this morning wake-up call may contain unwanted ingredients.  What if you want to make sure that the coffee you sell or drink has no genetically modified ingredients? Not to worry—there are plenty of options out there for the conscious consumer. Adding coffee to your non-GMO food list is a smart and easy decision, especially if you are making a list of products to drop ship. Coffee in its pure form is non-GMO, as no commercially produced coffee exists that is genetically modified. However, that does not mean that every coffee product has no GMOs. After all, many additives used in coffees can be GMO. Given this, select your coffee carefully!

The eight coffees included here appeal to a variety of tastes. Whole bean coffee, instant coffee, and even a grab-and-go coffee beverage make appearances. Also, light, medium and dark roasts all feature. And this article doesn’t forget about latte or espresso lovers, either.

Crucially, every coffee on this list is either verified by the Non-GMO Project or USDA Certified Organic (Certified Organic food cannot contain any GMOs). Be assured that drinking these coffees will not expose you to any GMO ingredients!
