I recently received these seeds and they were sent from China. Are they certified Organic by US standards???

I don't ever remember my seeds being sent from China. I don't buy anything sent from China. Please check with Amazon and if you don't want them, send them back. This is news to me. Take care.

I don't recall them being sent fromChina, but if they had been I would of sent them back, but you bring up a good point and I'll be scrutinizing my seed packets in the future.

If I remember correctly the seeds were certified by international standards. The organic standard for the world is the same or higher than our standard. Most of the organic farmers outside of the U.S. Have been farming on land that has never embraced Western chemicals in farming. I would and did, feel comfortable using the seeds.

These seeds may be sent from China, if you buy them from one of the many Chinese vendors selling seeds on Amazon. You have to check your vendor before you order seeds and see where they are located. China has no standards for organic, so if the seeds come from China, then they are not organic. Currently, a store called "Evening Primrose" is selling these seeds and are located in China. The rest of the vendors are located in the US.

I've read that Braga purchases their seeds from China!!!! I've stopped buying this brand. Read the comments on Amazon website for more information as some of the people really did their homework.

My package says organic but if there is nothing on yours that says organic, I would not assume they are. Todd's Seeds is very communicative via email so I would ask them directly.

The seeds are QAI certified, not USDA, and since the seeds are repackaged, they do not transfer the organic seal. The repackaging facility is not a certified organic facility (you are correct, too expensive), so the seal is not transferred.

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.

Morning, Our warehouse is located in San Diego. All our seeds are grown in either Mexico, Nicaragua or Boliva and while they are not certified organic, we have a strict commitment to zero pesticides, chemicals or irradiated cleaning processes. If you visit our website, www.chosenfoods.com, you will get a good understanding of the commitment we have to quality and purity. We lab test many, many other brands of chia seeds - including "organic". Often, those labeled organic have higher concentrations of pesticides and chemicals then those with out the label. Hope this helps!

In my experience they are the most "unwashed" and freshest I have been able to find so far. There's not really a full proof method to check but usually the darker the water you wash them in, the better the seeds are.

I purchased the seeds through Amazon. I do not know if they come from China.

Hello KateThank 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

The package does not indicate the seeds are organic. If they were, there would be some indication, so have to assume the answer is no.

I believe they are organic but not positive. mine sprouted after an overnight soak within 24 hours. Very quick and nice!

I'm not sure exactly what the answer to this question is, but this it what I do know. It doesn't say on the package where the sunflower seeds are from, but I'm guessing they are from the US since it doesn't say they're from China or anywhere else. I don't know the area or state they are grown in, but I bought them from Net Rush on Amazon, and the package says they are distributed by Now Foods from Bloomingdale, IL 60108 USA. Hope that helps.

They better be non GMO because that's what I paid for. As far as I know these seeds are organic, non GMO.

No way to tell. These weren't the seeds as pictured, and Renee's Garden has indicated that the seed may not have originated with them? Organic maybe, Chelsea Pride, NO.

The seeds are Open Pollinated and DO NOT come from China. Seed Needs products are sold and shipped within the US. Thanks!
