Preferred Label : Organic Food;
NCIt definition : Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and
the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations.
Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given no
antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional
pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering;
or ionizing radiation. Before a product can be labeled 'organic,' a Government-approved
certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following
all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: Food produced without the use of man-made fertilizer, drugs that increase
growth, or drugs that kill insects, bacteria, or other living things. In the United
States, the Department of Agriculture sets standards for growing, harvesting, processing,
and labeling organic foods.;
