article Food that is actually found in nature

Have you ever looked at your food labels and saw the words "Contains Bioengineered Food Ingredients"? It is on more foods than you probably realize. Since January 2022, food products are required to label when it "contains modified genetic material and that the modification is not otherwise obtainable through traditional crossbreeding or found in nature." NOT. FOUND. IN. NATURE. 😲

Even foods that grow in fields, like corn and soybeans, are bioengineered so you really have to be on the look out for your ingredient lists. Especially when 92% of corn and 94% of soybeans planted in the United States are genetically modified to resist insect pests or tolerate herbicides. Read more about the concerns of BE / GMO foods on our blog.

Luckily at Kakadoodle, we are on a mission to feed our community real food the way is was meant to be. Not just for us humans, but also the livestock animals that are used for the meats we sell. You'll see that our pork and eggs are from animals on non-GMO diets. The Heritage Aberdeen Angus cattle are on a 100% grass-fed diet so that you know your beef is the quality you are looking for.

It is also why the produce from our friends at Fox at the Fork is always limited based on the natural seasons we experience locally. There is truly nothing tastier than fresh vegetables during their peak season, so make sure you are reviewing our site each week to see what's ripe.

Plus, when you focus on the local seasons, adding a Seasonal Harvest Bouquet to your weekly subscriptions is a joy because you are constantly surprised new flowers added to the design based on their blooming schedule.

As you can tell, we love real and local which is why we love meeting you at all the local farmer's markets! Hope to see you soon.
