Is it organic? why isn't there a USDA Organic sign on it?

It's a good question but the USDA seal carries no merit. The regulations for "USDA organic" are the same as for regular, pesticide-laced products. The truth is you don't know if it's organic. I researched the company and found that the administrators seem reputable. I trust in the character of people. If you need the USDA seal, find another product that bears that.

Do u really trust the UDDA? Look what they have done to the rest of the food industry. They dont want organic anything in the food biz. I cannor tell u ifthere is another food label on it as I have moved to germany and the coffee is in transport. About now, its getting closer to european boarders.

You may easily look up the company's phone number and ask - I assume it is because certification cost an enourmous amount of money and takes a long time to getCheck the web and call them

It most certainly is not organic. Considering how much higher the cost is for a company to market themselves as USDA Certified Organic, there is no way Stretch Island Fruit would simply not put that seal on their product if they were certified to do so. Consumer demand for Certified Organic is growing more every year (yay!). You may already know the following, but in case you don't, the label of "natural" really just means minimally processed (sometimes processed less than organic food, though organic food must always be processed using organic means), but very often "natural" food is grown using chemical fertilizers or pesticides. The guidelines a company needs to follow to use the term "natural" are very liberal, and often have no legal implication, unlike the label "organic." There's a number of organizations trying to put a stop to this, so it's looking like the food marketing label of "natural" will be more guideline-enforced in the future.

I dont have a firm answer but If it was 100% grass fed, they would make it really clear on the label. Looks like it might be from cows that are pasture fed some few hours a week or something vague. Usually, when a label is vague, there is a reason. If it is USA sourced and grass fed, it would likely say organic. So, there seems to be some reason why its not organic. I would like to know as well.

I am an organic grower myself, and I have a friend that is a scientist at the USDA lab. Don't fool yourself, just because it has the USDA seal does not mean it's up to your organic standards. Very often organic farms use substances that are more dangerous than conventional pesticides and fertilizers. The USDA does not run everything through a GCMS, the company just has to meet certain standards, they can still lie about things. I bought this for my cosmetics business to do R&D;, and it is very good quality, so I am happy with it.

The label did not specify if it's organic or not. This tells me it is not organic

I looked at the package in my pantry. It does NOT say organic anywhere on the label. Im telling you though, its really good!! Much better than any national brand.

Mine says "100% Pure Raw Organic" to the left of the picture of the root. It's in very small print but it's there.

Hello: tube does not state USDA Cert. Organic; however, it is Mfg By: E.L. Erman exclusively for Grafenberg Labs, NY, NY. www.grafenberglabs.com or send email to: info@grafenberglabs.com; Made in Israel. Hope this helps. It works well and does not irritate, and as you know, does not contain chemicals.

There is also a QAI certification noted on the back (Quality Assurance International) so you can look at their website to determine just how it is certified organic. Plus my package has the USDA stamp on the front label.

The USDA Organic Seal is a seal, or label, that is affixed to certified USDA organic products. Therefore, if it is not labeled organic, it is not.

Laurie, The package says 'Organic' but does NOT have the green and white USDA organic label. The toddsseds.com website hits all the right keywords 'heirloom', 'organic', 'non-gmo', and 'open-pollinated' in their general business description. I haven't followed up with the company...if they're on the level they should be able to provide a copy of organic certification.--please post a review if with what you find out, if you get a satisfactory answer from Todd's.--jylle

Well to be fair, they have the usda organic seal of approval which I thought was supposed to be a pain to do, but I couldn't guarantee they are for sure organic. I've bought a couple of bags now from them, they taste good, but have only once mixed them w cereal etc n had any grit or anything to them. Don't know if any red dye has been added, sorry not much help. Those are excellend questions though. ..did healthworks have a response about it? Im curious about the red coloring now though

There is no text on the container indicating that it is organic / pesticide free.

One of two things, to get the USDA Organic logo it costs money. Also they might not be Certified Organic anymore.
