Is Citric Acid GMO? How Non-GMO Citric Acid Is Made

How non-GMO citric acid is made in six steps: non-GMO tapioca or cane sugar, starch conversion with documented enzymes, fermentation with an Aspergillus niger strain that isn't genetically engineered, recovery, purification and crystallization, and lot documents

Citric acid is made by fermenting sugar with a mold, so the sugar and the mold strain decide whether it's GMO. Here's how non-GMO citric acid is made, sourced and specified.
