I noticed that this is only QAI Organic, and not USDA Organic, does it really make a difference?

A. QAI is a USDA-accredited certifying agency. The USDA National Organic Program directly oversees all USDA certifying agents by conducting surveillance of products on the shelf that containing organic labels and conducting unannounced inspections at certifying agents' places of business. These steps ensure that QAI and all certifying agencies are following the strictest guidelines and best practices under the National Organic Program. -source- http://www.qai-inc.com/what_is_organic/organic_associations.asp

It's not so much Amazon as it is GH, I'd imagine. And it's probably because they added ingredients that got them banned from being sold in a couple states. Mislabeling is a no-no; these are NOT 100% organic nutrients. It's true, they'll break down and feed your soil (microorganisms), which will in turn feed your plants. That's the concept behind organic growing and organic fertilizers... there's just some extras they throw in that don't meet the cut. You'll be "growing organically," by definition because you aren't using chemical fertilizers, but what you grow would not meet accepted standards of organic by many associations.

I just checked my container, it does state that this product is organic. Disregard my last answer

The seeds are QAI certified, not USDA, and since the seeds are repackaged, they do not transfer the organic seal. The repackaging facility is not a certified organic facility (you are correct, too expensive), so the seal is not transferred

This simply is translated as 'organic wheatgrass' or biological wheatgrass. There's no real difference that I could see.

Okay, I contacted the company and this is what they said: "Our Jojoba oil is organic, but our facility is not certified USDA Organic. This is something we are working on, but it is a timely and costly process, so at the moment, all we can say is that it is organic. The plants are grown organically, and no chemicals are introduced in the extraction process, so the oil is 100% pure."I will take their word on it for this one. Especially since I've been reading through the reviews on this and people with sensitive skin are saying that it is pure. I have not tried the product yet, however. I hope this helps.

It seems mixed to me -- don't think it makes any difference. The quality is very good -- I have tried ones from my local health food store and they are almost identical.

I would go to Nutribiotic and ask the same question, I'm just a customer of Amazon's. I have some here and it says Certified Organic, not made with eggs, milk, wheat, corn, nuts or pesticides. It looks like it is very organic in every way. I would also ask if Monsanto rice was used? It's certified by the CCOF it that makes anyone feel better about its purity. As a consumer I don't believe all that I read on labels these days. Hope I could help in some way.

Yes it does. There is a small circle on the bottom left side of the label which says "USDA organic".

I wouldn't trust the description if it does not say organic on the label. I would think that, if it really was organic, they would be sure to label it as such. That's just my opinion...I don't know for sure.

Hi I am not sure where it is made or the difference between Organic and USDA Certified Organic. I do know that my girlfriend thinks the cream is great. I think it has made her look younger and more vibrant.

Not sure. I do know it is all natural and organic. But that's a question to ask the farmers.

I don't see any organic USDA label on this product. So to me it looks like it very well may be gmo since most corn is derived from gmos and ascorbyl palmitate is derived from corn.

The turmeric is from India (that's why the bag shows that as the origin), but Starwest Botanicals is located in California (their address is on the bottom of the bag) and that is where this item is packaged.QAI is the company that has certified the product is organic (the USDA does not actually certify products, they instead allow approved companies to certify that products are organic to the USDA standards, and QAI is one of those approved companies).

Thank you for answering...but as far as i know organic does not mean it is also GMO, right?

It's best to give it a try. The major difference, of course, is that coconut manna comes in a glass jar and Let's Do Organic in plastic pouches. However, I don't buy both anymore as it's not raw. I buy just organic extra virgin coconut oil again.

USDA? I didn't know that the two we're separable... but it is "Certified Organic." It's fabulous oil.
