After passing the independent verification process by the Non-GMO Project, these products meet the standard for GMO avoidance and now display the Non-GMO Project Verification icon on the front of the packages. “Zone 8 supports people’s right to know what is in their food, which is why we chose for our products to become Non-GMO Project Verified,” says Tim Megenbier, president and co-founder of Zone 8. “We are excited and extremely proud to have this verification. Our goal at Zone 8 is to provide a refreshment that has ‘no artificial anything,’ and achieving this verification coincides with our clean label policy.” Additionally, The Zone 8 Black Tea and Agua de Jamaica Hibiscus Tea are USDA-certified organic through QAI and now boast the USDA Organic seal. Two other varieties, Red Rooibos-Pomegranate Tea and Honey Lemon Tea are now 70% organic certified and carry the Made with Organic Ingredients USDA statement. “Since we hired Mother Nature, it is only natural that we sought organic certification and support practices that restore, maintain, and enhance ecological harmony,” says Megenbier. “Both certifications support our authentic commitment to redefine what ‘natural’ means through the products we produce.”
