What makes this syrup "organic?" I come from a syrup harvesting part of NY and I'm a bit confused as to the difference.

Based on the information below and looking more closely at the label I would guess this listing (the one not labeled organic) is sourced from the US and the one labeled organic, from the same company, is sourced in Canada.

I thought it was organic because that is what it said on line but when I recieved the product all it said on it was pure. Why is it only $18.95 now when I had to pay $68.10 to try it that seems strange was it all about who's show it was on and who's name was backing it up? sorry I saw a typo.

The label says it is "natural." That has no meaning, legally. The label does NOT say it's organic, just fyi.

I don't believe this particular product is, but Bob's Red Mill does have some organic options, and they are a small privately owned company, so you will be supporting local, even if you do not live in Oregon. :-)

I do not know but it is organic. Perhaps calling the company. I hope this helps

Hi Tim, Thanks for the note. While we have chosen not to pay the thousands of dollars for a government "certification" as Organic, we are as close as it gets. We bottle only our own honey, from our own hives. We do NOT blend, mix, micro-filter, or heat pasteurize our honey. All that being said, no beekeeper knows each and every plant that his or her bees visits, it's a physical impossibility in the modern world for truly organic honey, and I would have more questions for a company that spends their efforts and money getting a certification, over taking care of their bees!

Not sure. The kids (my great niece and nephew) loved it and used it a lot during the first few weeks...but I'm not sure if the syrup ran out since they live in Massachusetts and I live in NJ. Wish I could help you with this but not sure. I guess it depends on how my are using it.

Elderberries made into a syrup or tincture WORKS to keep my family protected from flu and colds. If this is the only option available, I would buy non-organic rather than be without. Personal choice!

I've never heard of formaldehyde in Maple syrup. Is this something that occurs? The only way to know for sure would be to take a sample to a lab that perform an analysis for formaldehyde.

Hi Andrea,From all that I saw when I Googled it, the is yes, it is organic, but you must buy the food grade DE to be sure of that. If you just type it into Google, you'll get MANY! answers.Good luck! Irene

I got my amalaki from Vadik Herbs, which says "wildcrafted" and "100% natural." Not sure if that is the same as organic, but I took "wildcrafted" to mean not cultivated or treated. Other than that, don't know.

Its definitely 100% raw and natural Alice. Beware other sellers claiming their Yacon Syrup is organic when its not actually 'USDA Organic'... :)Best Regards, James - Nutrapuris

You would need to ask the company. I am trusting the labeling that it is organic. I use it to make candy and chocolate.

Great question! Though I have never called the company and questioned them directly, I believe it is formaldehyde free. You can go to their website and read about the company and their products. I always buy the Organic Grade B syrup.

from most of what i read and experienced,,,yes,,,,shelf life is pretty good toochanging answer.hmm, sorry, but It doesn't actually say organic. However, seems its the best choice out there. Other comments here are appropriate.

It's NOT listed as organic, so I'd consider it as conventional product, meaning it's the generic conventional methods, which can contain hormones, pesticides, toxins, etc., even if it's all natural. All natural means it doesn't have chemical additives; it doesn't mean it's organic. If you need to be free of all these things, look for an organic product made in USA.
