People frequently ask whether our oats are GMO (genetically modified organisms). GMO refers to items that have been altered from their original state by genetic engineering techniques.
The good news for Coach’s Oats fans and oatmeal fans everywhere is that there are no GMO commercially grown oats.
Oats grown for commercial use have six chromosomes, which makes the hexaploid grain difficult to genetically modify. There’s also no need to worry about other GMO grains contaminating oats in nature. Even if a GMO plant/grain is grown next to a field of oats, the GMO grain will not cross-pollinate with the oats.
So, to assure and answer all our fans, Coach’s Oats are indeed non-GMO.

It is not the point of gmo specifically. Take for instance, Monsanto's Roundup contains chemicals that include pesticides. Yes, the pesticides is built right into the seed.
one more reason i love coach's oats. if only youd get your product into more stores – like Henry's, Von's, and WinCo.
Rather deceptive since there are NO GMO OATS grown!
I LOVE Coach’s Oats and relieved that GMO’s can’t infiltrate this great product. What I would love even more is a pesticide free version. Are their any organic versions in the works??
