What it is
Certified Organic ingredients are produced and handled according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Organic Program standards. This means they are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or synthetic fertilizers. Processing also avoids artificial preservatives, colors, and flavors.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use certified organic ingredients to meet consumer demand for products made without synthetic inputs. They can be found in a wide variety of foods, including beverages, snacks, produce, dairy, and grains, signaling that the entire product or a significant portion of it adheres to organic standards.
Health notes
The USDA oversees the 'Certified Organic' label, ensuring compliance with its standards. Organic foods are not inherently more nutritious than conventionally grown foods, according to reviews of scientific literature. However, some consumers choose organic to reduce exposure to pesticide residues. Regulatory bodies like the FDA do not specifically evaluate 'organic' status for health effects, as it is a production and handling standard.
Allergen info
Whether an organic ingredient is a major allergen depends on the ingredient itself (e.g., organic wheat is a major allergen, organic sugar is not). The 'Certified Organic' designation does not inherently indicate allergen status. Gluten is present in organic grains like wheat, barley, and rye.
