What You Can Do
No matter what allergens you are trying to avoid, the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network suggests that you always read the label when you buy a product, even if you think it is safe. See its website, www.foodallergy.org, or call 800-929-4040 to access extensive resources on managing food allergies.

Organic foods are by definition not genetically modified or allowed to use GM ingredients.
