REASONS TO BUY

New benefits of choosing Certified USDA Organic continue to be
discovered, but here are some compelling ones.

There are over 150
synthetic pesticides
used in conventional
farming, but Certified
USDA Organic means
farming without toxic
pesticides, GMOs,
fertilizers, irradiation
and more.
The Environmental Working Group
(EWG) says that more than a quarter
of a million American children ages one
through five eat a combination of 20
different pesticides each day.

Genetically Modified food manufacturers
don’t have to say on the label that a
food contains GMOs, but Certified USDA
Organic means no GMOs.
Before a product is labeled organic,
a government-approved third party
independent certifier inspects organic
farmers, ranchers, distributors,
processors and traders—including
supermarkets and restaurants—to
make sure they comply with all
USDA organic regulations.

Over one billion tons of pesticides
are used in the United States each
year for conventional farming versus
Certified USDA Organic farming.
