Organic, Natural Goodness
Choosing the best for you and your family often leads you to investigate the variety of labels you will and can find on the products you purchase. Organic, natural goodness starts with recognizing the labels and what those labels mean to your family.
The US Department of Agriculture has a set of standards in place for foods or products labeled “organic”. This holds true for products made in the USA as well as products imported to the USA. This regulation went into affect starting October 21, 2002.Farmers who accentuate the use of renewable resources and the preservation of water and soil to improve environmental quality for potential generations produce organic products. Organic poultry, meat, dairy, and egg products come from creatures given no growth hormones or antibiotics. Organic products are produced without most pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation.
Before labeling a product "organic," a Government-approved person inspects the farm where the product is raised to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards. Companies that handle or process organic food before it gets to your local supermarket or restaurant must be certified, too.
When purchasing organic for your family, knowing the truth in the labeling is essential. Products are often going to have different labeling for the percentage of organic-ness as well. With the emphasis on organic products being a strong factor within the USA, you can guarantee that your rights are being protected.
