What does the Organic label mean?
When the label says 'Made with Organic Ingredients': the products must contain at least 70 percent organic ingredients. A list of up to three separate ingredients may be included on the principal display label. A certifying agent's seal or mark may be used on the package. - Packaging of any product labeled organic must state the actual percentage of organic ingredients and use the word 'organic' to modify each organically produced ingredient.
- No restrictions are made upon the use of truthful labeling claims, such as 'pesticide free,' 'no drugs or growth hormones used' or 'sustainably harvested' . Products made with less than 50 percent organic ingredients may make no claim other than designating specific organic ingredients among information . The average amount of fruit and vegetables is about five servings per day, including French fries, potato chips, even fruit-flavored candy, even though studies show people know fruits and vegetables help prevent diseases such as stroke and cancer, and lower the risk of heart disease.
