The Four Pillars of UDSA Organic & Why They Matter

Sure! Here's the rewritten content in English: --- Many people find it challenging to fully grasp what "organic" really means, and research shows that quite a few aren’t familiar with the regulatory and enforcement processes that uphold the organic label. To address this, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has introduced four simple yet comprehensive pillars that make up the USDA organic label. Each pillar highlights a key part of the National Organic Program's (NOP) process for creating and enforcing organic regulations. For decades, Mountain Rose Herbs has been committed to organic certification. Organic farming ensures that harmful pesticides stay out of our bodies and the environment.

The USDA develops and strictly enforces these standards to clearly outline what practices and inputs are allowed—or prohibited—in organic production and handling. The USDA organic seal is a registered trademark, allowing the USDA to penalize uncertified operations that falsely use the seal to pass off non-organic products as organic. This safeguard helps protect the integrity of the organic seal and prevents counterfeit goods from entering the U.S. organic market. Additionally, NOP investigates complaints, penalizes violators, and accredits inspectors who examine organic operations. #### Inspected Yearly by Experts Every organic farm and business is certified and inspected annually by USDA-accredited certifiers. Trained organic inspectors visit each farm and business every year to confirm compliance with organic standards. Surprise inspections and testing are also standard practice for every organic operation. The USDA frequently audits certifiers to ensure they are correctly inspecting farms and maintaining the organic label’s integrity. #### Traced from Farm to Store The Strengthening Organic Enforcement rule enhances the USDA’s oversight and enforcement capabilities, allowing tracking of organic products from store shelves all the way back to the farm. Farms and businesses meticulously document the organic products they produce, purchase, and sell. This system enables businesses to select trusted suppliers and verify the authenticity of their offerings. Certifiers audit supply chains to preemptively detect and deter fraud before it reaches stores. The NOP oversees the Organic INTEGRITY Database, which holds current and accurate information about entities selling organic products. These systems ensure that consumers get truly organic products. #### Shaped by Public Input Stakeholders and the general public can provide feedback via public comments to influence final policy decisions. The organic standards are shaped by recommendations from the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB), a volunteer advisory group from the organic community. Stakeholders and the public can also attend bi-annual NOSB meetings to give input on their recommendations. *This summary is adapted from the USDA Organic Consumer Outreach Toolkit.* --- Would you like to learn more about Mountain Rose Herbs’ sustainability efforts?
