I Hate Synthetic Hormones by Miriam Alarcon Avila

New Pioneer's goal is to offer the best in organic, natural, and local food and products to support our community's health and well-being. To that end, New Pioneer has adopted the following standards:

We feature and prepare foods that are free of artificial sweeteners, artificial colors, artificial flavors, artificial preservatives, and trans fats.
We actively seek out and support sources of certified organically grown foods, locally grown whenever possible.
We feature seafood, poultry, meat, and dairy that are free of added growth hormones, antibiotics, nitrates, or other chemical additives.
We highlight household and personal care products that have been proven safe through non-animal testing methods.
We feature grains and grain products that have not been bleached or bromated.
We do not knowingly sell meat or dairy products from cloned animals or food that has been irradiated.
We respect our members' desire to know what is in their foods. If you wish to choose non-GM foods, we recommend choosing certified organic foods and locally-grown foods from suppliers we know. Until the government changes the law to require the disclosure of GM components in foods, it is impossible for New Pioneer to know whether or not the commercially produced foods on our shelves contain them.
