"We are thrilled that GO VEGGIE is the first cream cheese alternative to receive Non-GMO Project Verification," states Allison Houle, Marketing Manager at Galaxy Nutritional Foods. "By creating the cheese alternatives category over 40 years ago, we helped start the movement toward better-for-you products. Although our cream cheese alternatives have always been made with non-GMO ingredients, this third-party verification provides the transparency in sourcing that today's educated consumers expect from the brands they choose and trust," she continues. "Because clean ingredients are an integral part of our GO VEGGIE brand strategy, verification from the Non-GMO Project underscores our commitment to this standard of excellence. With October being Non-GMO Month, this couldn't have come at a better time."
