Organic Labeling and Marketing
National Organic Program (NOP) assure consumers
that the organic agricultural products they purchase
are produced, processed, and certified to consistent
national organic standards. The labeling requirements
of the NOP apply to raw, fresh products and
processed products that contain organic agricultural
ingredients. Agricultural products that are sold,
labeled, or represented as organic must be produced
and processed in accordance with the NOP
standards.
