This product contains a bioengineered food ingredient(s).
Bioengineering is a practice that farmers in America have been using for more than 25 years. The process uses modern technology in order to introduce desirable traits in crops, such as the ability to make them more resistant to pests and less prone to disease.
T. Marzetti is comfortable including bioengineered food ingredients in our products because they have been studied extensively by scientists and the FDA and have been deemed safe for consumers. Click here to learn more.

Marzetti uses are primarily corn products (such as corn, cornmeal, cornstarch and corn flour). Please note that these ingredients are NOT found in all T. Marzetti products.
