Whats the difference?!

According to Dr. Doris Day in the April 2008 issue of Health magazine:
  • Natural refers to ingredients derived from plants, minerals, or algae.
  • Organic describes substances grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and processed without man-made chemicals.
  • Made with Organic Ingredients means that 70% or greater of the ingredients are organic content.
  • USDA Certified Organic is the highest standard.  USDA Certified Organic means that 95-100% of ingredients must meet USDA organic standards for food.  More information about USDA Certified Organic is available here.
