What is organic?

Organic refers to food grown without synthetic pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, hormones, fertilizers or other synthetic or toxic substances for a three-year minimum. No artificial flavors or colors have been added. Organic certification excludes foods that have been irradiated as well as GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms).

In October 2002 the U.S. Department of Agriculture passed a new national standard for organic labeling, which includes three classifications. If the label says:

1.100% Organic. The product contains only organically produced ingredients. It may bear the USDA Organic seal.
2.Organic. The product contains at least 95% organic ingredients. The USDA Organic seal may be used.
3.Made with Organic Ingredients. Contains at least 70% organic ingredients. The product does not qualify to carry the USDA organic seal.
