You are RIGHT! I didn't even notice until I checked the bag just now. Amazon does say 100% organic in the description, so I'm going to complain. I went to Bob's Red Mill site and it does NOT say their potato flakes are organic. I'm very disappointed. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, I probably would have ordered more.

There is nothing on the packaging to indicate if organic or not. I suggest you go to there website, you might find the answer there. It's a very informative site

Well, it doesn't say organic so my guess would be that it is conventional. Most products tend to brag if they went to the extra effort of avoiding pesticides. I would find a product that explicitly says organic if you are concerned about pesticide residues (they are found in over a quarter of peanut butters, so simply removing the shell is not enough).

While I don't know personally, I can tell you that the product does not meet the USDA organic standard, as mentioned on one of their site forums. They do not disclose why that is, but if I had to guess, that is a possibility until they disclose specifically why their products don't meet USDA qualifications. I just sent an email to info@genhydro.com and jesse@genhydro.comasking about this for you to see, but you should ask for yourself as well.

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?

No its not, its a bogus scam. Product have not one organic ingreadient. Its just a cleaver name to get our money. Dont waste yor money.

If the product does not state that it's organic, it's not organic. As for being processed near peanuts, why don't you contact the company directly?

The package I got was broken up chunks. I assumed that's the way they were supposed to be. They were still tasty, but lighter flakes would be nice!

The company is in WI. The item states 100% organic. It does not state where the seeds are from

This product is not labelled as 'organic.' or not genetically modified. Heck, I'm happy it's not made by General Mills. Don't you think we should worry more about the working conditions of the migrant workers who are slaving away to keep this stuff on our table? Moreover, it's just wheat germ milled by Bob and his migrant workers. A lot of Bob's products are certified as USDA Organic. The wheat germ is not one of them. But Bob appears to be a good guy, so you should buy it anyhow and hope for the best.

Carlos, after checking their website I cant be sure if its organic, its listed as kosher and non gmo. All I can say is I have been using this flour for about 7 years now for hearth breads with pretty reliable results and taste. I thought their flours were all organic when I first started ordering but couldnt find it after looking for a couple of minutes. the link to their website is http://shop.honeyville.com/products/bakery/flours/alta-artisan-unbleached-flour-672.html

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

this product's only ingredient is Dehydrated Potatoes and reads "All Natural" .... which is not necessarily Organic, although many people do think natural means organic .... Perhaps the person(s) who initially enter the description information can change it to read "All Natural".

This product is not organic. They do have one that is a little more expensive that is organic! Maybe it was just a typo!

On the front of the bottle it says, "organic, gluten free, vegan, kosher". It just doesn't have an O-U or O-K stamped on it. I would get in contact with them directly if it is a concern. ilovedatelady dot com.

I just checked the package; it contains only organic dried prunes, nothing else. That's why I ordered them.

It's wrong. They are not organic. Even the Bob's Red Mill website doesn't show any organic potato flakes on their site. Since they make numerous organic products, I'm sure it would say it on the pkg. I wish they were. We eat almost all organic foods. These are a spurge for us. Basically like our take-out night since we don't eat any of that stuff (we're gluten, dairy and chemical preservative free). They are easy and tasty. I add s&p and avocado oil and a but of garlic powder and they're great!
