What does it mean if a food product is labeled as “Organic”?
In 2002, the National Organic Program ( NOP ) legislation was passed by the US House and Senate, and today we have one set of standards that governs the labeling of food as “Organic”. This legislation controls the practices and materials can be used by farmers in the production of “Organic” food. The NOP is largely based on the state programs that existed in California, Oregon, and Vermont. We use an independent, third party to audit and verify that all of our materials and methods conform to the NOP practices.
