Non-GMO Sweetner sources / opinions
Hi all, As entries come in for the Good Food Awards, we're in the midst of some provocative discussions on GMO sweeteners - especially corn syrup and beet sugar. Do you have sources for any bulk non-GMO sources? Opinions on local vs. non-GMO when tradeoffs have to be made?

It's not enough to hand off to NGOs (non-governmental organizations) the responsibility to redress issues of ethical trade. The purpose of this group is to discuss ways to improve the quality of life of farm families and farm communities worldwide.

As the Good Food Awards is a US competition - are the couvertures available in the US? And through whom?"

I believe that all of the couvertures produced by Cluizel are lecithin free and contain no non-cocoa fats and also does a good deal of direct sourcing. They don't (as far as I know) have any organic offerings nor offer any Fair Trade…"
