Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 ALERT: ANOTHER SNEAK ATTACK ON ORGANIC STANDARDS: USDA TO ALLOW MORE CONVENTIONAL INGREDIENTS IN ORGANICS The USDA has announced a controversial proposal, with absolutely no input from consumers, to allow 38 new non-organic ingredients in products bearing the " USDA Organic " seal. Most of the ingredients are food colorings derived from plants that are supposedly not " commercially available " in organic form. But at least three of the proposed ingredients represent a serious threat to organic standards, and have raised the concerns of the Organic Consumers Association, as well as a number of smaller organic companies and organic certifiers. http://healthy.net/scr/news.asp?Id=9157 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
