An explanation of organic labeling standards:
USDA Certified Organic
Only products made with 95%-100% organic ingredients that are certified organic by the USDA can display this logo. Organic certification is hard to achieve. Here is why: 1) Transitioning to organic: farmers have to comply with organic regulations and pay fees for 3 years before calling themselves organic. During this transition, they can’t sell, label, or represent their products as organic or charge the premium price that organic brings. 2) Expensive: certification isn't free, certification requires visits from a USDA certification agent, extensive paperwork, and more. During this waiting period a farm may be operating at a loss. 3) Difficult rules: for example the regulations demand a “buffer zone” to block any runoff from a nearby conventional farm into the organic farm. It is not clear how big this "buffer zone" has to be. It is left up to the individual certifier to decide whether a buffer zone is of sufficient size. 4) Onerous paperwork: the USDA inspects organic farms yearly and want to see extensive paperwork. Organic farmers have to set aside time for updating field notes, planting schedules, soil tests, fertility observations, projected yields, and organizing receipts. 5) Difficulties with neighbours: organic farms may be near, even surrounded by non-organic farms. Pesticide sprayed on these nearby farms may drift over to an organic farm which can damage the crops. If that pesticide leaves a residue considered “too high”, an organic farmer can lose the certification. In that case, they have to start the 3 year transitioning program all over again.
Made with Organic Ingredients
This means the product is between 70-95% organic, with some eco-unfriendly ingredients and processes prohibited.
Natural
This term means very little, and does not represent any kind of certification. "Natural" is defined as "minimally processed" and containing "no artificial ingredients", but only for meat and eggs. When applied to vitamins or supplements, it can mean just about anything. Or nothing, this term can be plainly misleading.
