To make sure you always have a healthy snacking plan when you need one, we’ve created a list of healthy on-the-go snacks that are made without genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Each healthy snack is non-GMO, non-GMO Project Verified, or made from non-GMO ingredients.

Keep reading to discover all the delicious snacks you can eat to enjoy wholesome, non-GMO goodness when you’re on the go.
