Frequently Asked Questions
Are organic foods healthier?
According to the Environmental Working Group's recent report on pesticide residues within foods, organic fruits & vegetables contained nearly half of the pesticides that non-organic varieties. They found that organic apples contained eight times fewer pesticides than non-organic apples, while organic strawberries were four times cleaner than their conventional counterparts.
Some studies also suggest that eating organic food helps reduce your exposure to toxic metals, such as mercury and lead. A study concluded that children who ate organic meat had 33% lower levels of blood lead than those who didn’t. Another study concluded conventional fish consumption should be stopped by pregnant women because it contains high levels of mercury.
Organic food tends to be healthier than nonorganic. However, to reduce your risk of cancer and other diseases, experts recommend choosing fresh fruit and vegetables whenever possible.
What's the difference?
Organic food is produced without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, or genetic modification. Organic farming practices promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods are grown with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and sewage sludge. Radiation is used to treat irradiated food; biological engineering techniques are used to create genetically modified organisms (GMO).
"Natural" is sometimes used interchangeably in the context of "organic." Natural does not necessarily have to mean organic. Natural products can also be labeled with synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is often more nutritious than conventional produce, as the soil has fewer pesticides and harmful chemicals. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones, anti-biotics, and other harmful chemicals.
What are organic foods?
Organic produce does not contain synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and sewage sludge. It is also grown without irradiation or genetic engineering. No growth hormones are used, and there is no animal testing. These crops can naturally grow, so no chemicals are used by farmers to combat pests or weeds.
Organic farming practices also maintain soil quality by reducing erosion and conserving water resources. Organics have more nutrients than traditional food, which makes them better for our health. Organic products are typically higher in fiber and lower in fat and calories than conventionally produced ones.
Is organic a guarantee that the product is pesticide-free
Organic food is free from pesticides and chemical fertilizers. This means there is little or no exposure to chemicals such as fertilizers and herbicides.
Because organic produce is free of harmful additives, it also has more nutrients than conventionally grown foods.
The USDA National Organic Program (NOP) requires farmers to follow strict guidelines for growing crops certified as organic.
These guidelines include soil preparation, crop rotation, pest control, water conservation, and harvesting practices.
Organic farming techniques also contribute to healthy ecosystems that benefit wildlife as well as natural habitats.
How can I determine if my produce was organic?
If you want to make sure that you are buying organic produce, look for these three labels:
USDA Organic Certified – This certification is issued by USDA to ensure that the product is 100% organic.
Certified Naturally Grown: Produce that has been grown in accordance with organic practices, but has yet to receive certification from USDA.
Pastured/Free-range - Made from animals that graze on grass and herbs outdoors.
These labels indicate whether the product meets certain criteria.
- No synthetic fertilizers or pesticides
- No genetically altered organisms
- Animals are never given antibiotics
- Animals are not ever given hormones.
- No growth-promoting drug
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No irradiation
- There's no sewage waste sludge
- GMOs not allowed
- There have never been any antibiotics given.
- No hormones ever given
- No growth-promoting drugs
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No sewage effluent (if it isn't a GMO).
- No irradiation
