Non-GMO means a product or ingredient was produced without genetic modification techniques — the plant or organism’s DNA has not been intentionally altered in a laboratory. Investors care because non-GMO labeling can affect consumer demand, price premiums, shelf access and supply-chain cost; think of it like an organic or “no added hormones” label that can open certain markets, change margins, and create reputational risk or advantage for companies.
