Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 <a href=http://www.ams.usda.gov/nop/nop2000/nop2/finalrulepages/finalrulemap.htm target=new>http://www.ams.usda.gov/nop/nop2000/nop2/finalrulepages/finalrulemap.\ htm</a><br><br>This web page has the complete text of the new USDA organic food labeling law. You can read all the gruesome details yourself. <br><br>This new law will create total confusion. From now on, foods that are labeled '100% Organic' will have to be completely organic as the new law defines organic. However, as you will see from reading the law, many synthetic chemicals will be able to be added to these 100% Organic foods. <br><br>Foods that are merely labeled 'Organic', without the '100%' on the label will need to be only 95% organic. The other 5% of the food can be filled with any chemical pesticides or chemical addittives that are legal to add to foods. This will create total confusion in the average Americn consumer who will erroneously beleive that " organic " means totally organic. <br>The official time during which the USDA was listening to comments about this law was over long ago, it won't do any good to complain about it now.
