When I purchased this same seed in a larger container is said "certified organic" USDA. The smaller packaging just says organic alfalfa. It may be because it was repackaged in smaller containers. I don't see the larger containers for sale on the site anymore, but I have bought them in the past. It comes from the same source.

Hello Kate Thank you for your question. Yes, the seeds come from a certified organic farm right here in the United States and as such, they are GMO free. I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Thank you Sprout Lady Rita

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

Yes. The info on the page says: "They are 100% Non-GMO, open-pollinated". They are very clear that these are natural organic seeds in their ad. The packaging is amazing and airtight enough to last almost forever. I haven't had a single seed that didn't grow so far. I see no mention of pesticide, just a lot of pride in being natural organic seeds.

Yes. It has the USDA Organic logo on the label (lower right corner just below a bar code)

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.

Sorry, I have no idea. Nothing said organic on any of the packaging, or where they came from. It's a little creepy to use them and know nothing as they arrive in a big bag with a garbage tie like thing within a box. They appear very "industrial", but I have been using them and they seem just like all the rest. I am concerned if they are food grade or something else. One more thing I can say, is that 25 pounds is a huge amount of chia seeds. I think if I had it to do over, I would pay more for something I knew much more about.

Laurie, The package says 'Organic' but does NOT have the green and white USDA organic label. The toddsseds.com website hits all the right keywords 'heirloom', 'organic', 'non-gmo', and 'open-pollinated' in their general business description. I haven't followed up with the company...if they're on the level they should be able to provide a copy of organic certification.--please post a review if with what you find out, if you get a satisfactory answer from Todd's.--jylle

Technically an organic product is only proven to be organic if it has been labeled with the USDA label. So these may advertise as organic, but without the USDA certification you can't really be sure.

I'm not sure about all sprouting seed at Todd's seeds but I have purchased the alfalfa and broccoli seeds and they are certified organic.

I know it is labeled organic. I can look at the label when I get home and see if it says Non-GMO Verified and respond again.

Sorry, I have no way of determining that. I really think it has more to do with what you do with the seed after receiving it when you talk organic. I also don't know if the seeds were genetically modified. You should be able to get some information from the seed packet. If not, you could try contacting the supplier.

Yes, my package reads "Non-GMO Project Verified". Also, organic products are not GMO, and all the ingredients are organic.

Hi Sargoli, thank you for your question, it's an important one. It's easy for anyone to claim to be organic, especially online. Our supplier is certified organic, however we can't display the certified organic logo until our product labelling goes through the same process. We just launched this product and so are in the process of getting the certification, and expect to have that within the next month. We can send you the certification from our supplier if you would like that assurance, until we have ours on the package. Thank-you again for your question, I hope you'll give our product a try. - Gerry UPDATE Mar 26, 2014: being new to the organic certification process, naive us discovered there is a mountain trail of paperwork and steps to follow. Who knew? This is going to take a few more months still, and much time, unfortunately. Double discouraging given the supplier is already certified, makes one wonder the value in these detailed processes.
