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.
