The company announced that...By the end of the year, labels on Oregon Fruit Products’ canned goods and “Pourable Fruit” containers will proclaim the company doesn’t use genetically engineered ingredients and has verification from the Non-GMO Project to prove it.
The company has never used genetically modified fruit and berries and the list of such products includes just two things: papaya and a handful of apple varieties.
But today’s consumer “is a thorough label-reader,” company CEO Chris Sarles said in a news release. “And as an 81-year-old company, it is crucial that we maintain and build upon the brand trust we have built over the decades.
“We have always held our sourcing, ingredients, processing, and packaging to the highest standards,” Sarles said in the prepared statement, “and now our labels reflect that unwavering dedication.”
The company labels also will say it doesn’t sweeten its products with high-fructose corn syrup, which it hasn’t used for years. And beginning with the 2016 harvest, the company is using cans without Bisphenol A (BPA) lining.

So when you shop in the coming season, read your labels and choose wisely. I know that not everyone has access to organic, fresh produce, or the time to make homemade pie and other pastry fillings. So, this is an alternative that can be used for your peace of mind when trying to live as healthy as possible.
Have a great day---
In health & happiness,
