Confections brand Loacker has announced its Non-GMO Project verification status. This step allows for more brand transparency and is in harmony with the company’s ongoing commitment to using the best possible ingredients, while avoiding artificial flavorings, added colors, and preservatives. The core Loacker Quadratini and core Loacker Classic flavors are among the first to receive this verification.
All Loacker products are made with ingredients of certified origin. The brand’s Alpine milk is completely non-GMO and is processed at its Dolomites Milk production plant. Its hazelnuts, are 100 percent Italian and roasted directly in-house. The company also sources cocoa and vanilla from carefully selected sustainable farm partners.
“We are thrilled to announce our Non-GMO Project verification status”, says Jenny Fernandez, VP of marketing for Loacker USA, in a statement. “Our consumers know the high quality of Loacker ingredients and we’re happy to provide them with non-gmo options, as per their request.”
The Non-GMO Project Product Verification Program is North America’s most rigorous third-party verification for non-GMO food and products. Independent inspectors and accredited testing laboratories are also part of the Non-GMO Project Verification process, as are ongoing, annual renewal requirements for Non-GMO Project Verified products.
