Re: Organic Labeling and Certification - Looking for Resour
The ATTRA publication titled "Organic Certification" lists about
70 organizations that certify in the U.S.. The contacts are
organized by USDA-SARE region (West, North-Central, South,
Northeast).
It is located at http://www.attra.org
It also lists the status of legislation pertaining to organic
certification and labeling for 29 states.
LL - Labeling Law
OS - Legislated Organic Standards
RC - Required Compliance with Legislated Standards
SC - State Certification Program
AP -All Products Sold as Organic must be Certified
As a starting point, CCOF, NOFA, and the states of
Washington, Colorado, and Texas publish informative
guidelines.
