AMS Amends National Organic List to Allow New Chemical in Livestock Prduction

The Agricultural Marketing Service is amending its National List of substances allowed and prohibited in organic products, it said. The final rule adds elemental sulfur to the National List for use in organic livestock production. It also reclassifies potassium acid tartrate from a non-agricultural substance to an agricultural substance and requires the organic form of the ingredient when commercially available. The changes take effect May 30.
