Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The U.S. government has established certain standards that must be met in order for a food to be labeled as "organic." This includes having at least 95% organic ingredients and meeting certain production and processing requirements. Therefore, statement B is true. Statement A is incorrect because a food can still be labeled "organic" even if it contains small amounts of non-organic ingredients. Statement C is also incorrect because there is limited evidence to suggest that organic food is more nutritious than conventionally-grown food. Statement D is incorrect because the USDA has established national regulations for organic food production.
