Decoding Organic Labels


ams_usda.gifAre all labels created equal? Not so much. Get clued in so you’re better informed when faced with a choice for your next purchase.

100% Organic - Only organically produced ingredients are in the food.

Organic - At least 95% of the products’ ingredients were organically produced.

Made with Organic Ingredients - At least 70% of the ingredients used in making this product are organic.

Food with less than 70% of organic ingredients cannot use the USDA Organic label.

If you want more specific details, this USDA tip sheet is great.
