Organic food sales in the United States hit a record high $39.7 billion in 2015, with produce and dairy leading the charge. And while, organic production methods disallow genetically modified organisms (GMOs), "non-GMO" is trending as the go-to label claim, with U.S. retail sales of non-GMO food and beverages estimated to reach $330 billion by 2019. This issue explores the disconnect among consumers about these different, yet complementary, certifications and terms.

Takeaways for Your Business

  • Euromonitor data placed the global retail value of organic dairy at just over US$10 billion in 2016.
