SEBASTOPOL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--To mark the beginning of Non-GMO month, Traditional Medicinals is celebrating the Non-GMO Project verification of its more than 50 teas. Already the country’s No. 1-selling wellness tea brand1, Traditional Medicinals now also earns the distinction of having more Non-GMO Project Verified products on the market than any other tea company.
“We are a company dedicated to sharing the natural wellness potential of plants from around the world,” said Blair Kellison, Chief Executive Officer of Traditional Medicinals. “Ingredient transparency and integrity are at the core of our values, and we know it’s what our consumers expect.”
Traditional Medicinals strives to sustainably source organic, Fair Trade Certified™ and pharmacopoeial quality herbs from their native regions around the world. The company is proud to add Non-GMO Project Verification to the list of qualities consumers can trust when purchasing its teas. The Non-GMO Project Verified logo will be featured on Traditional Medicinals’ striking packaging update, which features a new logo, beautiful herbal images and friendlier copy to demonstrate care, evoke trust and cue flavor.
Traditional Medicinals is the first herbal tea company to be Non-GMO Project Verified and is a proud supporter of the Non-GMO movement. As consumers continue to seek more transparent disclosure and choice when it comes to GMOs — including in California, where 90 percent of residents are proponents of legally required GMO labeling2 — Traditional Medicinals will continue to be a trusted source for honest, straightforward labeling.
