However we would encourage Puccino’s to release a statement regarding its use of GMOs, gain some Organic certification, and release an Environmental Report specific to the brand in order to improve its score. If Puccino’s applies for Ethical Accreditation, The Good Shopping Guide would be able to offer some guidance on this.
