Yes. All “organic” and “made with organic” products sold in the U.S. must meet NOP (National Organic Program) standards. For further information regarding the USDA organic requirements, visit www.usda.gov and/or www.qai-inc.com. Back to the top 2. Why are there perforated holes in some frozen food packages? The holes are part of the manufacturing process to release air for proper packing and shipping of the product. So, the holes are not an indication that the quality has been compromised. Theyre actually intentional. This is more common with fruit and vegetable products. However, if you are unsure, please contact your local store for quality assurance purposes. Back to the top 3. Are hormones added to your poultry or pork products? No. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits the use of hormones in poultry and pork.
