Why does this product come up first when doing a search for "organic food coloring?" I can find nothing here that says it's organic.

As a student of chemistry, I can safely say that DYES are chemical, and if you are wanting a natural product, stay away from dyes of any kind. Organic or inorganic has to do with how the molecules are bonded, ionically or covalently, and also whether or not they are metals and non-metals, or both non-metals, not how safe they are.

Also. I am looking for organic coloring....not red dye #40...So, yes this makes no sense for being organic.

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.

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!

mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning! I use this for everything: cooking, skin, in my pets food...you can pay a lot more for small containers called organic or 100% pure but this is the same and a great quality and you can not beat the price...definitely NOT CRAP as someone stated. mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning!

It is not wholly organic. It has undergone some processing, but it minimal in order to keep the integrity of the product.

The product does not say "organic" anywhere on the product. An online description could be deceptive practices for increased sales. However, further online research is recommended due to the possibility of the product being organic without any "organic product description" physically on the product.

I'm not sure if one should take someones word concerning : natural vs. chemical. I looked it up and found their web page: foreverflorals.com/about-us also they have other items you may be inerested in.

You might want to contact the individual seller to make sure. I would guess the picture is the correct item and it is organic. Since it is fulfilled by Amazon, if they send the non organic one, they would make it right.

I have this on automatic order and just got this. I looked all over the bags of flour and no mention of organic. The only thing I find the bag saying is no preservatives and all natural ingredients.

There is no indication that the product is "organic" in content. I'm opposed to some GMO's because they threaten biodiversity of plants. The nutritional facts remain that GMOs are as safe as other food sources. It's either a protein, fat, carbohydrate, to your body.

You know what?.I was wandering the same thing.They claim it's organic,but no USDA stamp on it.I will call the company and ask for verification.

Other syrups are colored by additional food coloring. This is the only brand that I could find that doesnt use "fake" food coloring.But I cannot comment on color!

I don't feel comfortable answering this question. I suggest you Google the differences between natural and organic. You could also ask Bob's Red Mill the same question.

I just double checked the package and NO WHERE does it say organic. I have to assume then that it is just natural.

Well, the first answer says it. With "organic" it is often a kind of trust, not only with this product but many others. "Organic" is watered down by big companies who jump on the band wagon to increase profit. All I can say is that this product, compared to the one I bought a while ago is much better. It is exactly as the company describes it. I use it on my face and it does wonder;-).

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...

The organic version is XPC Green. IF it doesn't say GREEN it isn't organic. I've had both, and at the moment can't remember which version I most recently ordered.
