LONDONDERRY, NH – Stonyfield, the world's leading organic yogurt maker, is kicking off the Stonyfield 10,000 Cup Greek Yogurt Trade Up to help yogurt lovers discover a delicious authentically strained Greek yogurt made without the use of GMOs and other stuff people don't want used on farms or in their favorite foods.
The Stonyfield 10,000 Cup Greek Yogurt Trade Up launched July 19th on the brand's Facebook page. The first 10,000 Stonyfield fans who sign up will receive a coupon for a free cup of any tasty flavor of Stonyfield Greek organic yogurt.
"Not all yogurts are created equal. Stonyfield is obsessively organic and we're committed to avoiding the use of GMOs, unnecessary chemical herbicides and toxic persistent pesticides," said Stonyfield Co-Founder & Chairman Gary Hirshberg. "Unfortunately, nowadays even so called 'natural' yogurts may still be made with milk produced by cows fed GMO grains. Choosing organic foods is the only way anyone who wants to avoid these practices can do so. We're excited to give yogurt lovers who want a pure cup of organic goodness a chance to trade up their daily cup to Stonyfield Greek."
Stonyfield always makes its certified organic and authentically strained Greek yogurt without the use of GMOs, toxic persistent pesticides, artificial hormones and antibiotics.
According to a survey commissioned by Just Label It, 92% of Americans want to see labeling of genetically engineered foods (also called GMOs or genetically modified organisms). Currently, GMOs are not required to be labeled in the U.S. The best ways for American consumers to avoid foods made with GMOs is to eat items that carry the USDA Certified Organic seal or products that are verified through the Non-GMO Project.
