Who certifies this as organic? Is the pillow case organic cotton? What is the source?

"Organic" and "Natural" actually don't have legal definitions. The FDA has yet to define it, so companies use it as they like and put simple pictures of farms or other natural-esque looking scenery on packages to fool people. It's easy to research if you'd like further clarification, the company probably meant that "the buckwheat shells came from nature at one point." It's close enough

Before you go file your lawsuit and cry foul, I would encourage you look into the difference between a claim that something edible is organic and the claim that something inedible is organic. If memory serves, consumer reports also states that the FDA certifies ORGANIC FOOD ONLY, and any other organic claims are dubious at best. That would mean that fumigation would have no effect on any such claim of having an organic pillow.

I think if a company says they are 100% organic pillows and they lie, they are breaking a law. I don't know if they are GMO. I love the pillows and I covered them with an allergy 100% organic cotton cover, and a 100% organic cotton pillow case.If you BUY one and bring it for testing, please let me know if they were lying about organics.

I am sorry, but I don't remember. I sent it back the next day. It's possible it is certified by no one, since it's made in China, but they claim that the pillow case is certified organic. I am sorry, I can't be of more help.

Nowhere on the bottle does it show or say "certified organic." It only states that is was "organically grown." Hope that helps.

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

NOT A NATUREPEDIC PRODUCT! I purchased "Naturepedic Non Waterproof Airflow Mattress Topper Crib Flat from Naturepedic" (online says 100% organic cotton), however, I received a "lullaby earth" topper (Polyester).

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.

It says on the can: Organic certification by the Utah Dept. of Agriculture and Food, hope this helps.

Some of the foam is made using organic soybean oil but I would not consider this mattress to be organic.

Hello Mira, Thanks for your interest in our products. As principle, we, at Bio Sleep Concept are using only "All Natural" and "Organic" components for our final products. In the case of the 3" Wool Topper, the cover is made out of 100% certified organic cotton cover, filled with Eco Valley pure wool. There is no spray of any kind on any of our products. What may happen, as the wool is totally pure and natural, is that the first few days after receiving the topper, you may smell the wool. This odor disappears very quickly. We receive the batch of wool from our North West growers and we card it in our shop. If the wool is very fresh, the smell may be more obvious for a small while. To finish, all of our products are chemical free and are never sprayed of anything. Please, do not hesitate to contact us for any more questions on our products. Sincerely, CM

It appears to be certified by OCIA at http://www.ocia.org/It is stamped right on the bag as plan as can be. "Certified Organic by OCIA".If it is not certified by OCIA, then this is misrepresentation.

I still have the sheet that came with the pillow and it says the fill is 100% organic kapok.

On the bag it says it's all natural & certified organic by QAI. Hope that helps.

It does NOT state that it is "certified" only that it is "100% Pure Organic" so my guess is that it's not certified.

Its all natural i am not sure if its certified organic, however we are an all natural farm- no-chemicals and these seeds are fine- not coated in chemicals.

I am unaware of any chemicals used on the husks. The product is advertised as 100% organic, which I would take to be free of chemicals. I have taken the husks out of the pillow in order to wash the cover and noticed no odd odors or colors.

I can't honestly say for sure. I no longer have the packaging it arrived in. The tag inside says 100%Egyptian cotton and the company name is :American Pillowcase.

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.

Cheryl, the tag on the pillow just says 100% cotton cover and the statement that this description is in accordance with the law. The description in Amazon is 100% hypoallergenic Microfiber fill for firm support. My husband says he likes it.
