FAQs

Does Gellan Gum contain any GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) components, and how is it labeled?

Standard food-grade Gellan Gum is inherently Non-GMO.

The producing microorganism, Sphingomonas elodea, is a naturally occurring bacterium and is not genetically engineered. Furthermore, the carbohydrate substrates (corn starch or sugar) used in our fermentation broth undergo rigorous purification that eliminates any trace of source DNA. For strict markets like Western Europe and California, we provide Non-GMO Project Verified declarations ensuring that no GMO processing aids are used throughout the entire production lifecycle.
