LOS ANGELES – Organic India, a provider of organic herbal wellness teas and functional supplements, announced its verifications from Non-GMO Project, confirming integrity of its organic herbs and commitment to wellness for people and planet. This new certification will be celebrated at Expo West 2014 in booth #2016 on March 7, 2014 along with product samplings, a close-up look at adaptogenic herbs and a musical performance by the brand’s ambassadors Avasa & Matty Love.
“Evolution is essential,” said Krishan Guptaa, Global CEO, Organic India. “A higher standard of quality, purity and overall wellbeing has always been our ethos, and it’s wonderful to have our commitment to our farmers, our planet and our wellbeing verified by this elite organization. It’s an honor to be recognized, from our small farming villages in Northern India to the shelves at your local supermarket.”
A numerous amount of Organic India’s Tulsi-forward teas and herbal supplements (expect Ghee and Chyawanprash which are outside the scope of verification) have been verified as Non-GMO. This verification authenticates the integrity of Organic India seeds, herbs and products as natural, heritage strains. Non-GMO Project is a non-profit organization raising awareness about the dangers and unknowns of genetically modified foods and encouraging government to allow consumers to make informed decisions about purchasing GMO products.
Prior to receiving this official verification, Organic India followed strict self-imposed standards through its E.A.R.T.H. S.E.E.R. mission: promoting the wellbeing of planet and people by being Ethical, Accountable, Reliable, Trustworthy, Holistic, Socially, Environmentally and Economically Responsible. Organic India IS currently in the process of certifying its entire product line with Fairtrade, Demeter Certified Biodynamic by the end of the 2014. The Non-GMO Project logo will appear packaging shortly.
