It says "certified organic" on the label. Where is the organic seal to prove that (eg: USDA organic)? Who is the certifying agency?

Mine just says its in organic olive oil, no certification info at all. There is a nutrigold website, maybe better info there.

Good question. That would probably be something you would want to ask the folks at Nutrigold. Their TN is 1-800-476-3542 or you can email them at www.nutrigold.com. Sorry, I don't know the answer off the top of my head.

I find it generally curious that a product that boldly claims superiority can not show more evidence of their certified status. So I would like to add my question: yes, who certified this product? And if in fact it perhaps is not certified but still organic, just say so and provide a track record of this product. That would be more responsible...

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.

If you buy this from Green Bulk, it is certified organic by QAI. Organic Lot#CP0114/ORG-343

Leah, as I look at the bottle I am reading that it is 100% pure organic cosmetic grade. It does NOT say that it is USDA certified organic. I want to say that it seems to be an excellent product, though I am not an experienced judge of oils.

The seeds are QAI certified, not USDA, and since the seeds are repackaged, they do not transfer the organic seal. The repackaging facility is not a certified organic facility (you are correct, too expensive), so the seal is not transferred.

Not sure if it's organic, but I am sure that mine wasn't sealed when I received it....very poor sealing process or just old maybe. Seal was only sticking in one small spot...so who knows what's in there?

It does not say "Certified" on the package. See www.rightfoods.com for more info.

Hello Sarah Belviso, I did not see USDA certified organic on the container I received and checked the website that was listed on the label but did not see anything that said USDA certified there either. All I saw was "NetPatrol" certified on the website. Here is the website: http://www.essentialdepot.com/ I even called them directly on 1-866-840-2495 but the operator was not able to answer that question so she told me to send an email to: Techdept@essentialdepot.com Hopefully they will respond to you quickly with additional information.

The only seal on the package is the USDA Organic label. There is a label (sticker type) that says gluten free, but that's the same as the advertising header for the product on Amazon. I don't eat specifically gluten free, so I'm not sure what the requirements are for something to be certified, necessarily, gluten free.

The package does not have the official USDA organic seal on it. So I question if in fact it would meet USDA standards.

The bottle label, does not say certified organic. It does have a stamp that says " 100% pure natural product". It also states "100 % pure organic". Ingrediant listing has only "100 % Pure Virgin Organic Argan Nut Oil

It doesn't have the 'seal' for USDA, but my feelings for the USDA and the FDA are not those of trust so they're labels don't mean much to me (i.e. it's legal for farmers to spray Round Up on their wheat crops here in the US, so I don't have much faith in US govt labels). This product seems legit to me. I've been using it and it lasts a long time. You don't have to use as much as you would regular flour.

A. QAI is a USDA-accredited certifying agency. The USDA National Organic Program directly oversees all USDA certifying agents by conducting surveillance of products on the shelf that containing organic labels and conducting unannounced inspections at certifying agents' places of business. These steps ensure that QAI and all certifying agencies are following the strictest guidelines and best practices under the National Organic Program. -source- http://www.qai-inc.com/what_is_organic/organic_associations.asp
