Do you know what it really means for a product to carry that USDA Organic label?
Currently, USDA allows food products to contain a threshold of 95-100%
certified organic ingredients in order for them to be able to use the
USDA Organic seal.

Did you know? When the product is labeled “100% organic,” “organic,”
or just “made with organic ingredients,” then even the non-organic
ingredients CANNOT be produced from GMOs. For example, products labeled
as “made with organic ingredients” only require 70% of the ingredients
to be organic, but 100% must be non-GMO.
