ALERT: USDA Allowing Ridiculous Things in Organics

"After working closely with industry for nearly two years on developing this list, the USDA chose to overlook the landslide of public comment and set a new precedent wherein all industry requests for allowing nonorganic ingredients in foods labeled as "USDA Organic" are approved.

The USDA's passage of this proposal has resulted in the following:

-Anheuser Busch will be allowed to sell its "Organic Wild Hops Beer" without using any organic hops at all.

-Sausages, brats, and breakfast links labeled as "USDA Organic" are now allowed to contain intestines from factory farmed animals raised on chemically grown feed, synthetic hormones, and antibiotics.

-Products labeled as "USDA Organic" and containing fish oil may contain toxins such as PCBs and mercury (note: nonorganic fishoil products have this same risk, but despite the USDA ruling, it is against the National Organic Standards to allow such toxins in organic foods)."
