Organic Or Not?

While shopping for organic foods, it is very important to be aware that these foods are not uniformly labeled. We should never buy something just because we see the word organic on the packaging.

100% organic means that the food contains organically produced ingredients.

Organic means that 95% of the ingredients must be organically grown, and the remaining 5% must come from nonorganic ingredients.

Made with organic ingredients means that a product must be made with no less than 70% organic ingredients.

Pure or natural means nothing; companies are simply trying to make their foods seem healthy.

Made with real fruit or made with whole grains means that the food has a minute amount of real fruit or whole grain in it.
