How do we know the Health Food stores aren ripping us off?
Hi. I ‘m not sure about Canada – but in the US the word “organic” is regulated when applied to a food product – it must meet certain standards. But even there this is a law – there have been a lot of articles about how some retailers and food producers really push the limits on what is really organic. I think the only way to tell would be to have the product tested in a laboratory but that would be expensive. So in short – the answer is “you really don’t know if they are cheating you or not.
