Organic?
July 22nd, 2008 by john
Sitting here eating some delicious organic dark chocolate from Green & Black’s (left over from a chocolate tasting party we hosted last weekend), I wondered about that little organic label and what it actually meant. We’ve all seen the organic sections appearing in supermarkets, and labels on products announcing that they’re organic, but what does that really mean?
US Standards
In the USA, the standards body for labeling food is the USDA, and they have three grades of organic product:
- 100% Organic
- Organic
- Made with organic ingredients
