Certified organic refers to the food products that are grown without the use of synthetic chemical pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides. Producers of these foods must adhere to environmental standards under a verifiable program of on-site farm inspections, soil tests, and annual management reviews. Farms are required to meet all organic standards for three years prior to being granted certified organic status.
