Organic Testing a Green Reality celebrated by Latin Organics

Spot testing is required by a 1990 Law in the United States. This 1990 Law established the basis for the National USA organic standards- but the regulators in charge never made sure the testing was being done. The Obama administration has just approved this week- to spot test organic products that are labelled as such-confirming if they are truly free of fertilizers and pesticides. This will for sure allow consumers to feel more confident towards organic certifications and it will also provide red flags on so many brands out there that have no certification- yet they are being sold as organic. Non- announced inspections will be applied to products on farms and manufacturing plants. Grocery stores-will have inspectors verifying if the correct labelling is being used on their shelf products. This is an important achievement for the organic industry. Companies such as Latin Organics that have based their corporate values on organic farming are celebrating. Our efforts have not been in vain. It is critical that governments all around the world start to apply this type of regulations. Colombia has a National Organic logo in place, but further testing procedures should be applied besides the organic audits that take place.
