Israeli company GreenOnyx, the creator of the world’s smallest and fastest-growing fresh vegetable (Wolffia) called Wanna Greens, has received a Non-GMO Project Verified seal.
The Non-GMO Project is North America’s leading independent verification for products made according to best practices for genetically modified organism (GMO) avoidance. Products bearing the Non-GMO Project Verified seal have gone through a verification process according to a consensus-based rigorous standard for GMO avoidance.
“This verification is a testament to our commitment to delivering unparalleled quality, freshness, and sterility on a global scale. This achievement symbolizes trust and assurance for our consumers and expresses our core values of growing food without high GMO-risk ingredients”, said Tsipi Shoham, co-founder and CEO of GreenOnyx.
Under the Non-GMO Project name, SCS Global Services (SCS) said: “We are proud to verify Wanna Greens by GreenOnyx because they exemplify the highest Non-GMO standards, which includes traceability, segregation, and meaningful, ongoing testing of high GMO-risk ingredients. GreenOnyx’s commitment to transparency and food quality aligns perfectly with our mission, reflecting our commitment to socially and environmentally responsible business practices.”
GreenOnyx is the only producer of fresh Wolffia approved by the FDA, EFSA, and MoH. It is also the first fresh vegetable certified by The Detox Project. The CleanScan Certificate of Compliance and the Glyphosate Residue Free Certificate of Compliance confirm the product’s safety and environmental integrity and ensure that Wanna Greens is free from harmful chemicals such as glyphosate residues, pesticides, heavy metals, GMOs, and other contaminants, making it a clean and health-conscious choice for consumers.
By leveraging Wolffia’s efficiency with AI technology, GreenOnyx produces higher yields and reduces waste, electricity, and water consumption compared to traditional farming methods, greenhouses, controlled environment agriculture (CEA), and other vertical farms.
