OA 8: How will the labeling of my organic products differ under the National Organic Program regulations?
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations require that products produced to the National Organic Program standards include the name of a USDA-accredited agent who certified the product. Other optional information may appear on the label, depending on the specific product. At one time, the USDA required that all products that make an organic claim include a complete ingredient statement. In June 2003, however, the USDA reinterpreted its regulations. As a result, ingredient statements are no longer required on labels of alcohol beverages intended to meet the standards of the National Organic Program.
