The GMO-free movement is particularly prominent in Brazil and the USA, with significant consumer demand for certification labels. In Brazil, the term 'sem transgênicos' (without transgenics) is also widely used in marketing. The USA has seen increasing consumer interest in GMO-free products since the 2000s, while Brazil, despite being a major GMO producer, has a growing segment of consumers seeking non-GMO alternatives.
