Why Organic? |
Only foods labeled “organic” have been certified as meeting USDA organic standards. Unlike organic foods, natural foods have no certification or inspection systems. The term “natural” on a label generally means that the food contains no artificial or synthetic ingredients that would not normally be expected to be in the food. Other truthful claims (such as free-range or hormone-free) may appear on product labels, but that does not indicate that they have met the stringent organic criteria set by the government.

Since 2002,
the USDA has established and enforced national standards. Crops must be
grown on land free of prohibited substances for at least three years
prior to harvest. |
