Aiya America Receives Non-GMO Certification for its Pure Matcha Tea Products
Torrance, CA (PRWEB) September 20, 2016 -- GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, have been a health concern among Americans for years, sparking a country wide debate on product labeling guidelines. In recognition of this concern, Aiya America, the world leader in harvesting and distributing premium quality tea, recently obtained non-GMO certification for all of its pure, naturally GMO-free Matcha products. These pure Matcha products include Premium, Ceremonial, Organic Ceremonial, Cooking and Organic Cooking Grade Matcha. Aiya’s Matcha products were certified by the Non-GMO Project (nongmoproject.org), a non-profit 501(c)3 organization with a mission to educate consumers and provide Non-GMO verification.
Aiya’s goal is to ensure that consumers purchasing Aiya’s products are able to enjoy them with the guarantee of a trusted, non-GMO certification. “Genetically modified food products pose serious risks to our health and to our environment,” says Fumi Sugita, Aiya America’s General Manager. “Although our Matcha teas do not contain any GMOs, we wanted to gain non-GMO certification to provide that extra assurance to consumers.”
Aiya’s high quality Matcha products are offered in 30g tins and 100g bags. Premium Matcha retails at $48.00 for a 30g tin and $128.00 for a 100g bag.
