Myth

An Organic Label Means 100% Organic Food

Fact

According to USDA rules, the majority of ingredients within a product must be organic for the product to qualify for the organic label. The current minimum is 70% organic. This means that if you want true organic food, you’ll need to read labels carefully. Look for the 100% organic label to make sure that all ingredients are organic.
