OK-I'm game. Can Oscar Rodes or DIANECH tell us what percentage of this jar is GMO-produced erythritol? Or will they continue to plead the 5th?

The erythritol used by Stevita is CERTIFIED ORGANIC therefore not genetically modified.

Hi Angela. The manufacturer in Brazil is releasing a new product, Stevita SOUL, which is 100% stevia, nothing else added. Keep your eyes out, hopefully the US distributor will bring it in soon :)

They will never answer the question. In all likelihood, Stevita is the same as Truvia sweetener that is 99.5% erythritol, and 0.5% ribiana, an extract from the stevia plant. That's right, only TRACE amounts of stevia. The majority of the contents is the GMO-based substance, erythritol, that researchers have recently learned is an effective BUG KILLER - you know, as in INSECTICIDE. Imagine, erythritol can kill your cravings for sugar, and kill bugs too ... how convenient is that? This sweetener is falsely being promoted as "natural" because it contains erythritol - but not NOT in its natural form - in the chemically-produced form, and also by the inclusion of a trace amount of stevia extractives. How trace? ... you can only guess, because clearly Stevita Inc. is not going to tell you. A class-action lawsuit against Truvia, for the very same reason - consumer fraud - cost them $60m in settlement fees for consumers to obtain refunds for being deceived. One can only hope that Stevita starts telling folks the truth about their product lest they suffer the same fate as Truvia.

Thank you for bring this point up. You are correct Dr Oz does not endorse any products. There are a number of companies who falsely claim that he endorses their product and they should be reported. I strongly suggest you do not buy from any companies that make such claims. We mention very clearly in our description that Dr Oz does not recommend this or any other product. We do not mention anywhere on our product Dr Oz's name. However on his show he does mention one should choose a supplier that has at least 50 percent HCA as well as various other criteria. In this respect we meet his guidelines. I would suggest you read our product description properly as we have made that point very clear. If you would like any further information about our product or like to see one of our bottles, packaging or labelling please do not hesitate to contact us. In the mean time all of us legitimate sellers would appreciate anything you can do to stop these fly by night companies making these false claims and jumping on the band wagon. Please let us know if we can help you with this.

Hi, Excellent question. My bottle says it is distributed by Jarrow Formulas, Los Angeles, CA 90035-4317. They are based in Los Angeles and were founded in 1977 per their web site. Their website is www jarrow.com but I could not find where the individual components originated. Their customer service number is (310) 204-6936 open 7:00 am -6:00 pm pst. Their email for questions or comments is info@jarrow.com. I noticed on the bottle and their website they are committed to non GMO. Hope this information helps.

FYI, just got my first bag today and enjoying a cup of coffee. The bag says "100% Pure, Non-GMO" and a video at NutritionFacts.org indicates that this is the "winner" as a "harmless" sweetener. http://nutritionfacts.org/video/a-harmless-artificial-sweetener/

Everyone - this is what I want to know and I will be contacting the company to find out. I want to know what is NOT on the label nor on their website nor could the guy at Whole Foods give a definitive answer (he's waiting to hear back from me on this) when he spoke to the company.If they source from cows that are injected with rBST - I want nothing to do with it. It's important. Why would I drink what I won't eat in my beef?If anyone has heard from the company on this, I think all of us should know.

I'm concerned about GMO's, too. I went to Now Foods website and it states that this product is NON-GMO. I can order now!

I do not have a bottle on hand, but researched on the Life Extension (LEF) site, which is the manufacturer. The chief culprits for genetic modification are soy and corn. Out of deference to customers who may be allergic to soy, LEF did not include any soy-isoflavones in this product (even though the clinical research leading to this supplement included them.) And, on top of this, they are very mindful of "customer concerns" about avoiding GMO to the maximum possible. Thus I would assume there are no GM ingredients in this supplement.

I think you ask an excellent question that hadn't occurred to me before. There is nothing on the individual packets to indicate either GMO or non-GMO product information for any of the ingredients. You may want to contact their website and perhaps they can give you the information you seek: greatnorthernpopcorn.com Likewise, there is no GMO information on the Paramount Tru Theatre Popcorn packets.

I didn't know so I called the company. I was told 5%. If you look at the ingredients on the bottle, it is the 5th indgredient, which usually means it's down a ways on the amount - just thought I'd call to set your mind at ease - I LOVE IT!!!

Haha good one, I just gave it a try, because I saw a lot of great reviews :) & not many supplements are certified :) esply the ones that are gmo free...u see my point.

My old container says it is 100% stevia, other ingredients none. There is also another statement on the label that says "KAL Guarantees that NO other ingredients other than those listed on this label have been added to this product". Unfortunately, new packaging does not say that and instead lists Maltodextrin as another ingredient. Unfortunately I am now looking for pure, organic stevia that doesn't contain maltodextrin, GMO or otherwise.

I will check my bottle when I get home and let you know. We are very careful about GMO's and I did a lot of research before buying this.

I'm sorry, I can't help you. I don't think it was mentioned on the label. I believe it's non GMO though.

See my one star review - Amazoner. I question whether their high claimed epa-dha values are accurate. This material seems to be just run off from sardine processing plants, which they don't distill. I've asked them for an independent testing assay - waiting for evidence.

According to yourlighterside.com, erythritol is 100% pure and derived from a corn source.

I'm not sure about that but I didn't think Bob's Red Mill used GMO in their products. I read about the company online on their website.
