Information on interpreting the ingredients label

Here’s a quick reference to labeling for organic and all natural products:

100% organic: All

organic ingredients produced without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides,

herbicides or sewage sludge; growth hormones or antibiotics in

livestock; food irradiation or genetically modified organisms; and

farmers adhere to soil and water conservation methods and to rules about

the humane treatment of animals

Organic: At least 95

percent organic ingredients; remaining 5 percent can be approved

nonorganic ingredients, such as citric acid and baking powder, or

approved nonorganic agricultural ingredients when they’re not available

in organic form

Made with organic ingredients: At least 70% organic ingredients. The label must identify both organic and nonorganic ingredients

100% natural; all-natural; natural: Not federally regulated
