Why is CLIF SHOT Energy Gel made with organic ingredients?

By using organically grown ingredients, we help keep highly toxic, persistent harmful pesticides and synthetic fertilizers out of the environment and our bodies, making organic farming and agriculture good for people and the planet. Organic produces less pollution and helps create nutrient-rich soil and increases biodiversity — helping to preserve the places we play like mountains, parks, rivers, and oceans. The National Organic Program also prohibits GMOs and ingredients like high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors.
