How are consumers sure that food that is marked as being organic is really organic?
Certified organic produce is inspected by third-party inspectors before they are given the legal right to mark their item as being organic. Whenever there is a question in regards to the legitimacy of a product, not only does the local certifying agents get in involved, but so does the state and federal government. There is a severe fine structure that is imposed on those that sell items under false pretenses.
