AMS Posts Draft Guidances on Allowed and Prohibited Materials in Organic Products

The Agricultural Marketing Service said two draft guidance documents are now available on classification and use of materials in organic products. The two National Organic Program draft guidances are intended to remedy confusion on classification of materials as natural or synthetic, and whether a material is on the National List. The guidances also clarify which materials are allowed for use in organic products, AMS said. Comments on the guidances are due by June 3.
