What is Organic?
All natural refers to no additives and is based on testimony of the producer. Organic means the product comes from at least 90% organic ingredients, but 100% organic means 100% of the ingredients are organic. Animals that are certified organic must come from animals that the parents were certified raised organic and raised from birth on organic land. They must be fed organic crops. The land can not have been sprayed with pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or synthetic fertilizers for a minimum of 3 years prior to certification. No animal bi products may be fed to animals. No genetic engineered (GMOS) may be used in feed or the animals. The product to be certified must be documented from birth to purchaser for traceability and verification. Antibiotics can not be used in organic meat.
