Are you looking for organic products with U.S. and internationally recognized certification?
The USDA Organic label guarantees strict organic production that respects the environment and consumer health. Discover its history, its criteria and why it represents a guarantee of quality.
What is the USDA Organic label?
The USDA Organic label is an official certification issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
It certifies that an agricultural product has been grown and processed according to strict organic standards defined by the National Organic Program (NOP).
This label is mainly used in the USA, but is also recognized in other countries, notably in Europe.
The history of the USDA Organic label
The US National Organic Program was created in 2002 to unify and regulate organic farming practices.
Since then, the USDA Organic label has become an international benchmark for sustainable, synthetic-chemical-free agriculture.
It assures consumers of food produced according to strict methods, without GMOs, chemical pesticides or artificial additives.
What are the criteria for the USDA Organic label?
To obtain USDA Organic certification, a product must comply with several strict rules:
- At least 95% organic ingredients
- Ban on chemical pesticides and fertilizers
- Absence of GMOs (genetically modified organisms)
- Farming methods that respect soil and biodiversity
- Guaranteed animal welfare (outdoor access, organic feed)
- No chemical additives or artificial colors
- Rigorous controls and annual audits
Only products meeting all these requirements can display the USDA Organic logo on their packaging.
How is the USDA Organic label awarded?
Obtaining the label involves a strict, regulated process:
- Grower application: Registration with a USDA-approved certification body.
- Initial inspection: Verification of cultivation, breeding and processing methods.
- Analysis and testing: Detection of prohibited substances.
