Identifying organic food: three categories

The USDA has identified for three categories of labeling organic products: 
  • 100% Organic: Made with 100% organic ingredients 
  • Organic: Made with at least 95% organic ingredients 
  • Made With Organic Ingredients: Made with a minimum of 70% organic ingredients with strict restrictions on the remaining 30% including no GMOs (genetically modified organisms) 
Products with less than 70% organic ingredients may list organically produced ingredients on the side panel of the package, but may not make any organic claims on the front of the package.
