Hi Cheryl, we're happy to clarify this point for you. GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are produced through genetic engineering, which means altering the genetic material of an organism. Breeding wheat, like what happens at the Bread Lab, is when a new type of grain is produced by cross-breeding of two existing varieties. This is the same work that has been taking place in agriculture for millennia; we are simply harnessing the power now for the good of the planet, not just for profits.
