WhatisOrganicFood?

InDecember2000,theNationalOrganicStandardsBoardoftheU.S.DepartmentofAgriculture(USDA)establishedanationalstandardfortheterm"organic".Organicfood,definedbyhowitcannotbemaderatherthanhowitcanbemade,mustbeproducedwithouttheuseofsewer-sludgefertilizers,mostsyntheticfertilizersandpesticides,geneticengineering(biotechnology),growthhormones,irradiationandantibiotics.Avarietyofagriculturalproductscanbeproducedorganically,includingproduce,grains,meat,dairy,eggs,andprocessedfoodproducts.

"Organic"doesnotmean"natural".Thereisnolegaldefinitionastowhatconstitutesa"natural"food.However,thefoodindustryusestheterm"natural"toindicatethatafoodhasbeenminimallyprocessedandispreservative-free.Naturalfoodscanincludeorganicfoods,butnotallnaturalfoodsareorganic.Onlyfoodslabeled"organic"havebeencertifiedasmeetingUSDAorganicstandards.
