The food that my family eats is very important to me. From our CSA farm share to buying local meat from our town’s farmers, to the tomato plants on our deck I do my part to ensure that the boys and I eat good healthy meals filled with real ingredients. Cereal has always been a staple in my family. From breakfast, to on-the-go and after school snacks cereal was part of my childhood and adolescence and continues to be my go-to breakfast for my boys and I in the morning. I especially love that they are now old enough to pour their own bowls.
Now I have an even better cereal option – Non GMO Shreddies from Post Canada. This summer, Shreddies Original became verified by the Non-GMO Project, North America’s only organization offering third party verification and labelling for non-GMO (genetically modified organism) food and products.
Why is this important? GMO’s are something you wouldn’t want your family to ingest and they are in so many products we purchase and enjoy. The Non-GMO Project explains:
GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms,” are plants or animals created through the gene splicing techniques of biotechnology (also called genetic engineering, or GE). This experimental technology merges DNA from different species, creating unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes that cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding.
Not something that you would want you or your children to ingest. Now you can feel confident that Original Shreddies is a great choice for your family. The Non GMO Project Verified seal is located on every box of Original Shreddies making it easy to identify which cereal your kids can enjoy without the worry that you are feeding your family products made with genetically modified ingredients. Plus if your kids are like mine they will love cereal snacks in their lunch boxes. Check out these fabulous recipes for everything from no bake squares to chicken pot pie.
For our family, Shreddies are absolutely the perfect way to start our day. Quick, easy, nutritious and free from GMO’s.
The Non-GMO Project is committed to preserving and building sources of non-GMO products, educating consumers, and providing verified non-GMO choices. The Non-GMO Project offers North America’s only third-party verification and labeling for non-GMO food and products. Learn more at www.nongmoproject.org.

Yes it is wonderful! I am really happy they are non-GMO – good to know when my boys eat tons of them!

We don’t have Shreddies here but they look like they would be very similar to the chex cereal which we love! This makes me want to check to see if our Post cereal options are non-GMO too!

What a great breakfast option. I’m thinking these are available only in Canada, yes? I’ll look here, but otherwise I’ll be sure to give my Canadian friends a heads-up, thanks!

I had no idea that Shreddies were only available in Canada but yes, definitely tell your Canadian friends :)
I love having cereal in the morning. I’ll have to give these a try. They sound healthy and they look crunchy and yummy! :)

I am definitely going to look for the non GMO seal when I shop from now on! It is almost impossible to tell by just looking ay a product if it has been genetically modified.

It is a shame what they put in your foods now days and don’t tell us what it does to us. I will have to get this Shreddies. Thanks for shairng.
We don’t have Shreddies here, but I wish we did! I’m always looking for an easy, healthy solution for breakfast!

I haven’t seen Shreddies here but will definitely look for them! We try to buy non-GMO whenever possible.

I rather a nice bowl of cereal as a snack than chocolate or anything else. It’s better for me than fatty sweets.
I have loved Shreddies my whole life. I am so excited to hear they’ve gone GMO free! I hadn’t noticed that on the box until you pointed it out. Shreddies just got better!

It sucks that this is something we need to worry about when feeding our kids. I miss the days when organic meant the opposite of inorganic. As in, of course I eat organic food, what the heck else would I eat?

I hadn’t noticed on the box either! I love my Shreddies! I am the only one in the house who eats them though. Excuse me while I go and get a bowl of Shreddies and milk now. LOL!

Fantastic news!! I love that more and more brands are listening to us moms who want the right for our food to be labeled and make conscious decisions on what we are feeding our families! Kudos to Shreddies! I may buy them for the kids now!

this is great. i’m going to look for this and try it out
I think our taste buds must change as we get older, because I was all “eh” about Shreddies as a kid, but as an adult I CAN’T GET ENOUGH!!
This human body is a strange thing.

It’s amazing how many chemicals and gmo’s are put into foods without us even knowing!! I’m so happy that we are becoming more aware as a society of how large companies trick us into thinking we are buying “healthy” foods! Kudos to Shreddies and other companies, however I still prefer to make my own cereal sometimes! I have a simple and easy recipe on my Blog; http://www.bitesforbabies.com/recipes/make-ahead-puffed-rice-cereal/
