MINNEAPOLIS, June 10, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Drake's Organic Spirits, distiller of award-winning all organic ultra-premium vodka, white rum, spiced rum and mixes, announced today that its new organic Spiked Ice™ hand-held adult ice pops have been certified Non-GMO Project Verified after an extensive audit and testing process. Drake's Organic Spirits is the first and only spirits line in the world to be certified organic, non-GMO Project Verified, vegan, gluten-free and kosher. The five certifications ensure a cleaner drinking option and a more sustainable planet.
The certification comes from the Non-GMO Project, a nonprofit organization committed to preserving and building sources of non-GMO products, educating consumers, and providing verified non-GMO choices. It is North America's only third-party verification for non-GMO food and products.
Genetic modification affects many of the products we consume on a daily basis. As the number of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) available for commercial use grows every year, the Non-GMO Project works diligently to provide the most accurate, up-to-date standards for non-GMO verification.
In order for a product to be Non-GMO Project Verified, it must be evaluated for compliance with the organization's standards and undergo an extensive audit and testing at every level of the manufacturing process. It also requires an annual compliance review.
"Drake's Organic Spiked Ice adult ice pops are not only delicious, they continue to demonstrate our deep commitment to providing great tasting products made only with the finest organic, non-GMO ingredients," said Drake's Founder and CEO Mark Anderson. "By avoiding GMOs we are helping ensure a safe, healthy food supply for future generations."
Drake's Organic Spiked Ice™ feature 15% ABV and only 80 calories. They are available in Mango Rum Punch, Vodka Lemonade, Watermelon Martini and Classic Mojito flavors. They contain no artificial colors or flavors and freeze with twice the ABV as other brands.
In addition to Spiked Ice, Drake's offers a keg cocktail program that provides pre-mixed organic cocktails to some of the largest venues in the United States.
Proceeds from the sale of all Drake's Organic Spirits products help fund Long Lake Animal Rescue, an animal rescue foundation that takes in animals in urgent need of a second chance at life.
