These don't have the USDA Organic label...can I trust that they are organic?

Good question, on the back of the bottle it says certified organic by Quality Assurance International With a large Q symbol above it. I trust the Hero brand but haven't really looked into it. I hope I'm not being naive!

The Organics Multi-Vitamins Yummi Bears company can clarify their standards to label their product as organic. These are the highest quality multivitamins I have found, they are delicious without being too sweet. I feel that they are as safe as possible.

Obviously not certified organic...by their own admission. At fourteen dollars for a mere four ounces, very expensive. Would strongly recommend USDA Certified Organic alternative.

The package I received is different from the photo and is labeled "Organic Raw Brazil Nuts". There is only one item listed under 'Ingredients', and that is "Organic Brazil Nuts", but there is nothing that says "certified". However, there is a phone number listed for the distributor- 800-764-1238

If this product was truly certified organic, it would have a label on it. I do not see a USDA organic label on any of the pictures that you have. Why does the description say organic if there is no label?

Their packaging says all-natural but doesn't mention organic. Their website (justins dot com, under initiatives) says they can't source organic nuts at this time.

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.

I just want to point out that there are products out there with USDA organic label, yet still have some type of chemical. Not all, but many. Always read the ingredients to make sure and keep a lookout for words you never heard of. Companies use different words to hide their chemicals.

The information on the package goes to great lengths to assure the customer of the wholesomeness of the product, however, I do not see the word "organic" anywhere. Perhaps you can find more information at www.palousebrand.com or www.facebook.com/palousebrand Good luck! As an aside, I have used these in cooking (I use them to replace ground meat in recipes, and have made salads with them.) and I have no complaints.

Of course not, they're organic which it's 100% GMO free or non GMO. Contact the seller for further inquiries.

Yes. Certified USDA Organic. Go to "www.bobsredmill.com" and ask them directly if in doubt.

Hi, the bottle says 100% organic, but I don't know if that automatically means USDA certified.

It is not USDA certified. However, there is a sticker said "100% organic" outside of the plastic bag. Some farmers grow their produce in an organic way but do not bother to certify them so the price can be lower. It depends on whether you want to trust the farmer or not. If you live nearby the farm then you can visit the farm yourself to see how the nuts are being grown.

Yes, it's USDA organic. Any time you see that green stamp with USDA organic it's not GMO. It also taste great!

Laurie, that is a good question. It does not say certified organic on the bag. However, I checked the product description on the website and it says they are. Normally I would be suspicious of a claim without seeing the certification mark on the bag, but looking at the website the company refuses to use GMO seeds and I like that.

They are advertised as organic. Really cannot determine if they are organic except take the word of the seller. Also not sure how critical organicis related to almond which grow in a very hard shell.
