USDA Organic Certification “Untrustworthy” Advocates Publish Guide to Bypass Federal Agency The Story: A Quick Overview >>> In 1990, Congress passed legislation charging the USDA with protecting ethical organic farmers and consumers from fraud. They have willfully failed in that responsibility. >>> Factory farm livestock production, soilless/hydroponic produce, and fraudulent imports have polluted the organic marketplace. >>> OrganicEye has published a “cheat sheet” enabling organic shoppers to identify the very best/authentic organic food — supplanting USDA oversight. >>> Eaters can use certifier names (required by law on all packaging) to identify the top 10 certifiers that refuse to sell-out our values and that guarantee authentic organic offerings. >>> OrganicEye encourages farmers, businesses, and consumers to switch their patronage to the most ethical certifiers and hopes this will cause others to reform their practices. https://organiceye.org/usda-organic-certification-untrustworthy/ (fb)
