You hear so many people talking nowadays about where food comes from and how it is farmed. Experts recommend that we eat organic foods as much as we can; however, the labels on foods that claim to be organic vary. What does it all mean?
Eating safe, healthy foods is so important and a great way to take care of yourself and your family. If you have ever been to the store and purchased organic meat or produce, then you have probably noticed the package labels that say "USDA Organic" or "Certified Naturally Grown" and wondered what the difference is.
Any product that bears the just the "USDA Organic" label was made from about 95% organic ingredients. If the label states, "100% USDA Organic", then it was made from entirely organic ingredients and is free from pesticides, hormones and harmful chemicals.
If you see a label that says, "Certified Naturally Grown", is came from a small farm that meets the guidelines put forth by the USDA for organic food. These foods are generally sold in local markets only.
Foods that claim to be "All Natural" should not be trusted to be truly organic. As a matter of fact, more often than not, it is not organic at all. The term natural has not been defined by the United States Government; therefore, a manufacturer can use the term any way they choose.
Always be sure to read the labels of the foods that you purchase. Remember to stay away from high sodium and trans fat and drink lots of water!
