GMO-Free Similac Advance Baby Formula Announced
Similac Advance baby formula made without genetically altered ingredients will be available by the end of the month in Target stores, according to product maker Abbott.
That will make Similac Advance — the top commercial baby formula brand in the U.S. — the first non-GMO version of a mainstream baby formula in the country, according to The New York Times.
Abbott also plans to introduce a non-GMO version of Similac Sensitive. If sales of the two new products are good, the company may introduce other GMO-free baby formulas.
Most mainstream baby formulas use corn and soy, and more than 90 percent of those crops in the U.S. are grown from genetically-modified seeds, The Times reported.
