We understand that some consumers have questions about genetically modified food ingredients. Many consumers do not understand that the vast majority of all food crops have been genetically modified and that bioengineering technology is only one of a number of technologies used to genetically modify crops. Currently, the majority of food crops grown in the U.S. have some bioengineering. For example, more than 85% of corn (the key ingredient in our products) is bioengineered.
Providing consumers with safe products is our number one priority. Many of the most influential regulatory agencies and organizations in the world that study the safety of the food supply, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the American Medical Association, the World Health Organization, Health Canada, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Academy of Sciences, have found that genetically modified food ingredients are safe and that there are no negative health effects associated with their use.
We appreciate, however, that some consumers may want additional choices. Therefore, we recently began offering Pirate’s Booty, Smart Puffs and Original Tings products that are Non-GMO Project Verified. Currently, these products can be found at select retailers. To identify them, look for the Non-GMO Project Verified seal on the front of the package.

We employ the use of Good Manufacturing Practices enforced by the FDA. This requires that if a product containing any of the top 9 allergens (dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, soy, wheat and sesame) is run or processed on a line, the line must be completely cleaned and inspected prior to processing a product that does not contain the allergen being processed on the same line. However, as ingredients and facilities may change from time to time, always check the label on a specific product for current ingredient and allergen information. If you have an additional question about a specific allergen, please contact us.
