3. Organic foods can be defined as those that have
been farmed in methods that emphasize soil and
water conservation while limiting the exposure to
pollutants and pesticides. In order to determine
whether foods have been prepared in an organic
fashion, it is best to check for a United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) label. Foods that
sport a USDA Organic label have sufficiently met
the government’s high standards, which extend
beyond the growing process and monitor the
handling and processing of all foods.

4. Single-ingredient organic foods like eggs and
fruit can bear the USDA label without issue, and
multi-ingredient foods made only with organic
materials can be labeled “100 percent organic”
or bear the USDA label. Food products
consisting of 95 percent organic materials, on
the other hand, are simply listed as “organic.”
Any product consisting of 70 percent organic
materials can claim to be made with organic
ingredients. If a food is made up of less than 70
percent of organic materials, the word “organic”
cannot be used in any way.
