How to Identify Real Organic Food
By Organic Consumers Association When you see the "USDA Organic" seal, you know that the food is at least 95% organic, does not contain genetically modified organisms, was not irradiated, and comes from a farm that: * Employs positive soil building, conservation, manure management and crop rotation practices. * Provides outdoor access and pasture for livestock. * Refrains from antibiotic and hormone use in animals. * Sustains animals on 100% organic feed. * Keeps records of all operations. * Is inspected annually by an accredited Third-Party Organic Certifier. If it is a multi-ingredient product, it was made at a certified organic processing plant that takes strict measures to avoid contamination of organic products. Products that are "Made With Organic Ingredients" are at least 70% organic and are also free from genetically modified organisms and food irradiation.Look for the USDA Organic Seal or the Words "Made With Organic Ingredients"
