certifications indicate that a product was made in adherence with federal USDA sustainable guidelines. These guidelines or standards typically address agricultural factors such as soil quality, livestock welfare, use of additives, pest and weed control and more. To become certified, the business or farm not only has to comply with annual on-site organic inspections, but also must provide transparent documentation of their operations and processes behind production.

All USDA certified products are composed of at least 70% organic ingredients, none of which contain GMOs or harmful chemicals. In order to guarantee a consumer the best organic products and businesses, this certification requires complete traceability to ensure that production processes can be tracked from start to finish.
