Look To The Label

Nov 1, 2002 12:00 PM


Here's what you'll see on your grocery store shelves:

100% ORGANIC
Only products containing 100 percent organic ingredients can state this on their packaging; these products may also be adorned by the official USDA seal.

ORGANIC
Products containing 95 percent to 100 percent organic ingredients may use the word organic to describe their contents; they may also don the official seal.

MADE WITH ORGANIC
If products contain at least 70 percent organic ingredients, manufacturers may make this specific claim on their packaging. However, these products do not qualify for the USDA Organic seal.
