Organic food is food that is produced without the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, radiation, or chemical additives. To be certified as organic, a product must contain at least 95% organic ingredients and not use industrial chemicals or additives in its production and processing. While organic food may provide some nutritional benefits over conventional food, it is debated whether these benefits outweigh the higher price of organic options. The document discusses definitions of organic food and certification requirements but leaves it to the reader to determine if organic food is worth the increased cost.
