How to Tell if a Product is Truly Organic

 

How to Tellif a Product is Truly Organic

You’re in a supermarket. You decide that after all the information you’ve been reading about organic food, that it’s finally time to pick some up, even though it’s more expensive. But then you have to decide what the different colored labels really mean. In so many words, are all organic products created equal? Let’s eliminate that question right now for you. Here’s how you really tell if it’s 100% organic or not.

 

According to the USDA guidelines, there are four acceptable variations for a food item being organic.

• If it says “100% ORGANIC,” it will have the green and white USDA label on it that you see at left. Here’s what that actually means: 100% organic product grown without genetically modified organisms, growth hormones, pesticides, herbicides or raw sewage sludge. Lord, it almost wants to make you gag when we think we buy non organic foods that have all that garbage on them all during the growth process. The label “100% Organic” most often is applied to a single-ingredient organic item, such as milk, fruit, a


vegetable, meat, cheese.


• If the label on a product says “Organic,” it will have the green and white USDA seal on it, and it means that the product contains 95-100% organic ingredients.


• Other products may be labeled, “Made with organic ingredients” — which means that 70% of the ingredients are organic. That labeling can appear on the front of package, naming the specific ingredients.


• Another food label might read, “Contains organic ingredients” — which signifies that the product contains less than 70% organic ingredients. But the package cannot say it’s organic on the front.

 

Somewhere I read quite some time ago, “Nature is not a place to visit … it’s home!”

 

If you tune into Nature, then that would be more entertainment than most of us really need. I am constantly laughing at the unique things that go on daily … actually, moment to moment! We are so fortunate to be living in Paradise …. North America. I was watching the sunset the other evening and looked over the ocean after the sunset, and the saw the moon rising. Such a spectacular sight! Where else could we buy a painting so huge — and it changes instantaneously. And it’s FREE to boot! Such a gift.

 

All the best.
