Does the label ORGANIC mean CERTIFIED ORGANIC? Does this mean the absence of pesticides and GMO's?

I just read the labeling on my current package and it does say it is certified organic coffee. My understanding is that it should be free of pesticides and GMO's if it has this labeling.

Good question! I did not see anything organization on their label that they made claim to. Perhaps you can call the company. I assume since it is grown wild that the word organic can be used instead of the strict requirements needed to use the labeling: "certified organic".

There was nothing on the label to indicate whether it was non-gmo or organic.

No but it has organic components. Something certified organic can have 70 percent or more components be organic. So even "organic" isn't completely organic

Hi Christine. Yes. the label indicates "Produced without animal testing". We are an animal-testing-free, Vegan household so this is important to us. Best,Peter

States on the package label that all ingredients are organic and non-gmo. It says nothing about sprouted.

There is no reference to 'organic' any where on the package, so I'm guessing it is not.

My container does not say organic, certified or not. What it does say on the front is, "Goat Milk Protein From Free Range and Pasture Fed Goats Partially fermented with L. acidophilus L. bulgaricus, B. longum" On the back, it says the goats are not treated with hormones or antibiotics, and that the pastures are grown without any chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. Also says the partial fermentation is to enhance digestibility and assimilation. Hope this helps, and may God bless! :)

Our container says 100% certified organic. If it says organic it is fraud for it to be GMO. GMO does not have to be listed on foods YET, but they can not call something organic if it is GMO. So buying organic protects you from GMO unless they cheat.

Not all organically raised products are non-GMO entirely. Organically raised simply refers to the way the product was grown, not the genetic composition of the product itself. Unless a product says it is non-GMO and 100% certified organic, it may be GMO in part.

Yes. This is USDA Certified Organic product. Quoting from USDA website - "Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation."

You don't. You can only hope that the Organic certification actually does mean something. OR as Ruth L. answered, forage for your own in the wild! I am happy with my purchase though.

It is my understanding that if a product is certified organic it must be gmo free.

I don't think it will pass organic certifications if it contained GMO. And I just used the bottle so I can't say if it has the non-GMO label.

On the label it says 100% Pure Organic. It also says Natural Product, 100% Pure. I honestly don't know if it's certified. No where on the label, that I can see, does it say certified.

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

By law, products labeled Organic have no GMOs. Organic always means NON-GMO...
