I can't find the label that says organic on the product?

I only buy organic, with few exceptions, label or not, and I'm buying this product. Labeling is kind of a tricky thing. For instance, in Sweden, where artisan coffee is a huge thing, companies come up with their fair trade labels they mark their products with in addition to adding an organic label on it. But there is nothing that says that the whole production chain is 'fairly traded'. Same thing goes with organic cotton in clothing. It may be the case that the fabric is organic, but the dye used is extremely toxic and not organic at all. In regards to the US, I found this article that seems to point out how products get USDA certified despite having non-organic ingredients. http://www.thedailygreen.com/healthy-eating/eat-safe/3980. It unfortunately makes shopping for organic healthy products even harder when you can't trust that the labeling is 100% transparent, so as consumers we need to be even more savvy and smart in our decision making. As far as buying organic comes, I look for raw and unrefined products as much as possible, like this product seems to be. In this case I wouldn't be to bother to much about a label. I try to avoid processed anything as much as possible and am fortunate enough to live on the country side where I can trade organic foods with my neighbors. When I lived in NY, I looked for locally grown, unprocessed foods as much as possible and whenever I could go upstate, I would bring food from the local farms back to the city and throw in the freezer. I also do research on how to buy organic without relying too much on a label to guide me as well as finding out exactly what foods and products to avoid WITH labeling and what is OK to consume with a label. Good luck!

This shea butter is organic and probably all raw shea butter available is. Consider how raw shea butter is produced: the shea nut used to extract the butter from falls from trees that grow wild in Africa, then are picked up then boiled, milled and filtered by cooperatives of women, it is then certified as to Grade A (in this case), then it is send through customs to the US and it is ready to be sold. There is no RAW shea butter I know of that is not organic and that is treated using synthetics or chemicals. Getting through the US paperwork to certify something as "USDA Certified Organic" is sometimes is not done to keep the cost of a product more affordable to consumers.

Turn the "Raw Shea butter brown" package around, there should be a bar code, under that it says 100% Organic Shea Butter.

Did you know that less than .10% of ALL "organic" products that come into the US are actually tested???? We are Certified Organic growers in the US and have researched this and spoken with many who deal with "outside" organic products. BUY made in the US!! :o)

most products that claim to be organic actually aren't. there aren't really firm regulations around what makes a product certified organic and no laws against slapping organic on a label...if you truly want to know if this product is legit, you may be better off contacting the manufacturer directly or looking up steps to determine validity on the usda's website.

The pkg. does not state if it's organic. The company that manufactures the product is, Healthy Herbal Nutrients and their phone number is: (866) 224-1910 I would hope they could answer your question. ;)

I wouldn't trust the description if it does not say organic on the label. I would think that, if it really was organic, they would be sure to label it as such. That's just my opinion...I don't know for sure.

Do I know it is not organic? No, I do not know that; however, it seems safe to assume that it is not organic, because the package does not say it is organic. I believe if it were organic, the maker would probably put that on the packaging.

I believe I called the producers of the product and they said that was an error. They said they were going to fix it, but obviously have not. They claim it is 100% organic.

I don't know what it is, but I looked on the label and I can't find it any where.

When I received the product it did not have the Organic Certified listed any where on the label, it didnt show that it was Organic at all. Though I have used the product I probably wouldn't order it again for this reason.

If after reading the label you want more detailed information, call or write to Newman's Organic. I've done that on a couple occasions in the past, and each time received a prompt and thorough response. They're an A+ company in my book.

I see nothing on the label that says it is organic. There is a # on the bottle to call with questions 1-800-9NATURE. Their website might help; naturesway.comI have never contacted the company.

I looked at the jar and they don't list where it comes from and the only refrence to organic is the name of the company "organicsoverseas.com". Maybe their web site might have some answers.

I don't know for sure. Sounds like you may have received the wrong package. Bob's Red Mill will have a green bar through the middle saying "Organic" on their organic products.

The labeling indicates that it is organic, but there is no reference to unrefined or cold pressed.

I'm not sure. I do know that in order to be listed as organic there is a list of criteria to be met. Maybe a call to the organization could give information about this particular product.

Nowhere on the bottle does it show or say "certified organic." It only states that is was "organically grown." Hope that helps.
