Organic Certification

Organic Certification Program
Organic standards by USDA were implemented in 2002. To be certified organic means “agricultural products have been grown and processed according to specific standards of various state and private certification organizations.” USDA-accredited certifying agents must certify food and processing operations that grow and process organic foods.
