re: "contains bioengineered food ingredients"

I try to avoid that label but GMOs are in at least 80% of the products on shelves.
They came up with that label in 2012 I think, because GMO was getting flack. Congress and Big AG went with bioengineered food source instead.
But there's loopholes (of course). If the first ingredient listed is a meat then the GMO ingredients don't have to be disclosed.
And it's not just Aldi. It's everywhere.
Go to the juice aisle and look at the labels. Apple juice is in everything but no bioengineered food source label anywhere.
I used to keep packs of peanut butter crackers, maybe some Little Debbie fig Newton bars and Kar's sweet and salty trail mixes in my lunch box for snacks at work. All of those have GMOs.
I make my own trail mix with mixed nuts and raisins or cranberries now.
As far as I know it's not in coffee.. yet.
