The real story
Non-GMO verified tomatoes grown and packed in the USA are a good start, but there's no information on how the tomatoes are farmed or the labor practices involved.
A solid choice. Transparency is still developing.

What is on the label?
Primary claim: "NON GMO Project Verified"
What the claims cover
- Non-GMO Project Verified
What is still missing
- No details on farming practices or labor.
Worth knowing
- The Non-GMO Project Verified label is a meaningful third-party check, but it doesn't tell us about the farm's soil health or water use.
Where the footprint lives
Scope 3 — the supply chain: The largest footprint is at the farm level, which is not detailed beyond 'Grown in USA'.
Most of a product's emissions sit upstream in Scope 3 — the scope breakdown explains why that decides the score.
Smart swaps and tips
- Look for 'USDA Organic' for better farm practices.
- Consider glass jars for a plastic-free alternative.
