Tell the USDA — No Illegal/Unreviewed Synthetics in Organics!

[Karl Frederick]

I'm happy to relay this alert from the Cornucopia Institute (https://www.cornucopia.org) an as opportunity for you to help make the "Organic" label mean what it implies. From the alert:

"Think you’re avoiding synthetic ingredients like sodium benzoate and polysorbate 80 by choosing organic? Unfortunately, that's not always the case.

The organic law clearly prohibits synthetic and non-organic ingredients in organic foods unless carefully reviewed and deemed safe for human health and the environment. But the United States Department of Agriculture and many organic certifiers have routinely ignored this important legal requirement.

They have allowed conventional agribusinesses, like Cargill, ADM and others, to include artificial preservatives, non-nutritive sweeteners, and other unapproved synthetics to the approved non-organic ingredients that may be used in organic processed foods."
