When it comes to choosing the right feed for your animals or the right food for your family, labels like USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified carry meaning. These certifications reflect a commitment to specific production practices, traceability, and transparency that many customers value when making informed decisions.
At Kreamer Feed, we’ve been in the feed business since 1947. As a family-owned company with deep roots in agriculture, we believe trust is earned through consistency and care. That’s why we offer both organic and non-GMO certified feed options. These certifications align with the preferences of many of our customers and represent our commitment to clear labeling and responsible sourcing.
Let’s take a closer look at what USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project certifications represent, how they differ, and why they might be the right fit for your animals, your operation, and your values.
What Does USDA Organic Mean?
USDA Organic certification is the gold standard for organic farming in the United States. When you see the USDA Organic seal, it means the product has met strict federal guidelines for how it was grown, raised, and processed.
For feed and food products, this includes:
- No synthetic pesticides or fertilizers
- No antibiotics or growth hormones
- No genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
- Environmentally responsible farming practices
- Third-party inspection and certification
When you choose certified organic food or organic poultry and livestock feed, you are supporting a system that prioritizes soil health, animal welfare, and ecological balance.
At Kreamer Feed, we were one of the first in the industry to manufacture organic feed. It’s not just a product line for us. It’s a legacy. We work closely with trusted local growers and organic partners to ensure everything we produce meets or exceeds USDA standards.
What Is Non-GMO Project Verification?
Non-GMO Project verification provides another level of assurance. It focuses specifically on the absence of genetically modified organisms in food and feed products. Unlike USDA Organic, which covers multiple sustainability practices, Non-GMO verification is centered on genetic purity.
To earn non-GMO certification, products must:
- Avoid all genetically engineered ingredients
- Undergo rigorous testing at key points in the supply chain
- Be verified by a third-party certifier
- Meet standards for traceability, segregation, and quality control
If you’re looking for a clear statement about GMOs in your food or feed, the Non-GMO Project butterfly seal provides trusted clarity.
At Kreamer Feed, we understand that some customers prioritize non-GMO certification as a key part of their values. That’s why we offer feed options that meet both USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project standards. This gives you the power to choose what’s best for your farm.
Organic vs. Non-GMO: What’s the Difference?
Both certifications are important, but they are not interchangeable.
- Organic includes non-GMO requirements along with strict rules on chemicals, animal treatment, and environmental practices
- Non-GMO focuses solely on avoiding genetically modified ingredients. It does not regulate other farming inputs or environmental standards
All USDA Organic products are non-GMO by definition, but not all Non-GMO Project products are organic.
Understanding this distinction helps you make informed decisions. Whether you’re feeding livestock, managing a certified organic farm, or selecting feed options that align with your values and goals, knowing what each certification represents allows you to choose with confidence.
