organic? Are these organic?

It most certainly is not organic. Considering how much higher the cost is for a company to market themselves as USDA Certified Organic, there is no way Stretch Island Fruit would simply not put that seal on their product if they were certified to do so. Consumer demand for Certified Organic is growing more every year (yay!). You may already know the following, but in case you don't, the label of "natural" really just means minimally processed (sometimes processed less than organic food, though organic food must always be processed using organic means), but very often "natural" food is grown using chemical fertilizers or pesticides. The guidelines a company needs to follow to use the term "natural" are very liberal, and often have no legal implication, unlike the label "organic." There's a number of organizations trying to put a stop to this, so it's looking like the food marketing label of "natural" will be more guideline-enforced in the future.

I'm really not to sure, I usually throw the box away and put them in a sealed tight container. Although being that this is fully organic I wouldn't think so. Sorry I don't have more info on it but I hope it helps a little bit!

I also don't think so... However, they are antibiotic free and organic in every other way. This is the most organic, "pure" formula on the market according to the exhaustive research I've done. Unfortunate, since it's not perfect, but I think they work hard trying to get close.

It's been a long time since I ordered them. If they say organic that usually means they are.

Yes, they are organic. (Please access to laurasoybeans.com for further information.) I am originally from Japan and have been eating soybeans since I was a child. Laura Soybeans look good and taste excellent. (Of course, I use a pressure coocker to cook soybeans.) Laura's soybeans are frown in Iowa and they are the best soybeans in US !! Mia

No. I don't believe it is organic. My reason for purchase was to get away from BPA cans. This was just the ticket. The price was reasonable and they taste delicious. I am getting ready to order my nest case.

If they are treated with some pesticides, they are likely not organic, although I believe there are natural anti-pest remedies that are still allowed under organic status.

Thank you for answering...but as far as i know organic does not mean it is also GMO, right?

If the package doesn't say organic then it is not certified organic. These appear to be high quality seeds. Enjoy!

I'm not sure that I can assume saying that this product is absolutely organic. I would say that some part of this product is organic but that's only my personal guess.

There really isn't a way to tell if ANYTHING that is called organic is indeed organic. These are certified though, so they likely are. The lady that runs Frontier herbs seems like an honest, good person, so I'll take those odds! The alternative is to forage your own in the wilderness.

Just like Dixie said, no they are not. However, the teas are organic and come in a lovely box plus the display is amazing!

There's no mention of "organic" on the label so chances are it is not. However, there is a web address for the manufacturer:www.zinkeorchards.com.

I know that their advertisements state organic so I suppose this is. I does not contain and preservatives or additives. I hope this helps.

Yes, these are "Handy Pantry" and they are certified organic. The label does not use the words "non-GMO."

No, they are not labeled organic. They are completely free of any preservative-the old fashioned shriveled up dried raisin. I am very sulfite and preservative sensitive and I do not react to these raisins. I hope this helps you.

They are not Organic. However, the purity of Oats makes the difference. I personally do not feel because Organic is shown: it is any better for you And it costs way too much. G.F. is the "Key".
