The Environmental Working Group (EWG) offers the following tips on how to pick "cleaner" food:
Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
USDA organic labels are required for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.
Avoid processed foods marked "natural" or with "no additives."
Check ingredient lists carefully. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.

But organic food offers more than just health benefits. We are all well aware of how harmful processed food can make our bodies feel. Did you know that organic fruits and veggies aren't subject to chemical spray? It means that organic fruits, vegetables and other foods are fresher tasting, more vibrant and last longer.
This is why organic food is so important. Organic food is not only healthier for you but also for the whole world.
How do you determine if food has been grown organically?
Fresh ingredients are essential for any chef. It's because we feel better when food is well-prepared.
The same is true of our food. When we buy organics, we know exactly where it came from and how it was grown. We also know that it didn't have any harmful chemicals.
Organic food is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. These substances are not permitted to organic farmers.
There is no art in growing organic crops. There are many ways to safely grow organic crops.
Sustainable agriculture is sometimes called organic farming. This means that while it uses fewer resources than conventional methods, it provides the necessary nutrients to sustain life.
Organic farming practices include crop rotation, composting manure, cover cropping, and intercropping. These techniques help prevent soil erosion and improve water quality.
They also reduce chemical pollution of waterways. Because most people live in urban areas, it is easy to find farms that grow organic produce.
There are two types certified programs for organic products. One is certified through the USDA National Organic Program and the other by independent certifying agents. Both require strict adherence of organic standards.
USDA seals and O Seals are symbols that indicate organic certification.
What is organic?
Organic meat is food that has not been treated with pesticides or artificial fertilizers. This also means that animals weren't given any genetically modified feed. Because there are no harmful chemicals in the meat, it is safe for human consumption.
Organic meats are also better for our environment. When we eat organic foods, we reduce the pollution in landfills, rivers, lakes, etc. We can also help wildlife by eating organic foods. Organic farmers do not often use toxic chemicals that can kill birds or insects.
It is best to buy organic meats locally as much as possible. Local purchasing helps keep money local, not out of the state. Local businesses often pass along savings to customers when shopping locally. Local businesses are more likely to keep jobs here than export them abroad.
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 - Produce certified by the USDA as being 100% organic.
Certified Naturally Grown - Produce that has passed strict requirements for organic practices but has not yet received certification from the USDA.
Pastured/Free range - These are animals that live outside and graze freely on grasses and herbs.
These labels indicate that the product meets certain criteria.
- No synthetic fertilizers or pesticides
- No genetically altered organisms
- No antibiotics are ever given to the animal
- The animal is never given any hormones
- No growth-promoting drug
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No irradiation
- No sewage effluent
- GMOs not allowed
- No antibiotics ever given
- No hormones ever given
- No growth-promoting drugs
- No feed-additives
