What are organic foods?

The term “organic” refers to how certain foods are produced. Organic foods have been grown or farmed without the use of:

• artificial chemicals
• hormones
• antibiotics
• Genetically Modified Foods

To be labelled organic, a food product must be devoid of food additives. This includes artificial sweeteners, preservatives, food flavors, food colors and monosodium glutamate.

Organically grown crops tend to use natural fertilizers like manure to improve plant growth. Animals raised organically are not given antibiotics or hormones.

Organic farming tends to improve soil quality and the conservation of groundwater. It also reduces pollution and may be better for the environment.

The most commonly purchased organic foods are fruits, vegetables, fruits, cereals, millets, dairy products and meat. Processed organic products are also available, such as sodas, cookies, and meat substitutes.
