How organic are Chefwear products, who are they certified by?
For any product sold in the U.S. regardless of where it was grown or produced to carry the USDA Organic logo, it must have been inspected by a certified agent of the USDA certification program. This is the current state of government regulations for organic fibers in the U.S. The same certifications are not currently in place for bamboo and hemp. And to further clarify The USDA states that 52% of the nation’s 2005 crop was genetically engineered, meaning that the seeds have been altered to resist insects in an effort to avoid harmful pesticides. While cotton is a crop that can qualify as “certified organic,” there’s no “organic clothing” standard set by the USDA that labels a shirt or pants as fully organic.
