why does this product not carry the USDA organic symbol since you claim its organic?

Based on the information below and looking more closely at the label I would guess this listing (the one not labeled organic) is sourced from the US and the one labeled organic, from the same company, is sourced in Canada.

This product is NOT organic. They do make an organic raw variety that can be bought on Amazon (and it does have the USDA Organic Symbol), but for a higher cost: YS Organic Bee Farms Certified Organic Raw Honey 100% Unprocessed, Unpasteurized - Kosher 32oz 2 Lbs Frustration Free Packaging

The USDA does not enforce or have a department for organic honey certification. The USDA will actually NOT certify honey. But countries from outside of the USA can actually import honey and say its organic. Then they can mark it as such. If you see a USDA Certified Organic honey it is NOT a product of the USA or its from a beekeeper who sells less than $10,000 worth of honey in a year. If you sell under that amount you aren't held to any labeling restrictions.

Hi Pamela, I was curious for an answer too. I read through all the responses here and none seem to have the exact same information I found. The only answer that came really close to being validated by other sources was Christopher. Here is a good link if you want to re-check this out: http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/getfile?dDocName=STELDEV3004446&acct;=nopgeninfo.

Because this is not Organic. Note the name of the producer is "Y.S. Organic Bee Farm". They do also sell the organic kind, just not this one. Quite misleading with the green label and all..

Because there is only one ingredient. The USDA must approve combined ingredients manufactured in the proper amounts to determine if they are safe for consumption. Raw honey is just raw honey. You have to obtain licensing to prove you are selling what you say you are selling when there is one natural product. There's no USDA stamp on salt either. These are single, natural products from nature.

Yes, it is USDA certified organic and there is also an ECOCERT label on my bottle.

It does not have the USDA organic logo on the label. It does have the GMP logo and says Made in USA.

The label says it is "natural." That has no meaning, legally. The label does NOT say it's organic, just fyi.

Well just noticing the one on this picture doesn't have it. However it says organic cocnut. I have organic virgin coconut oil unrefined and it does have the usda label on it. Hope that helped a little. Check to see if yours is reg organic coconut or if it says virgin coconut

I don't see anything on the labeling that addresses or claims to be either organic or non-GMO.

I'm looking at the bottle right now but I don't see a USDA symbol on it . Although I also don't recall the manufacture making any claims of certification either . I know this ; I personally use this product and am always satisfied with it . I hope my answer helps .

This product is not organic. They do have one that is a little more expensive that is organic! Maybe it was just a typo!

I cannot verify. The distributer is Seneca Foods Marion NY. The can shows USDA organic. Hope this helps.

USDA organic certification is a process to prove the product meets the standards to be certified. USDA certification has either never been attempted with this product, or did it not meet the requirements to be certified. Possibly something in between. USDA certification isn't necessarily the highest standard of organic food anyway.

Good question - and thanks for the posted response, Annelle. That is still true. An update on it is that to qualify for USDA organic status, every single element of our supply chain has to individually be USDA certified. We assure that the oil itself is organic and that we've met the USDA specs for organics, but not all elements of our supply chain have gone through the expensive and tedious certification process. It's something we continue to work on.

The brand I purchased does not indicate its organic on the label. I haven't found the product effective for me.

It does not have the USDA Certified Organic label on the bottle. It does not say anywhere on the bottle that it is organic, only 100% pure.

It only says certified organic, and carries the USDA/organic mark on the label. There is however, an 800 number on the label, for questions. Here it is: 1-800-953-6424. Good luck.

Hi! Apologies for delay - have been out of country. Yes, my package does say that is organic and also has the organic emblem on it. Sorry yours did not! Mine also say kosher....

Technically an organic product is only proven to be organic if it has been labeled with the USDA label. So these may advertise as organic, but without the USDA certification you can't really be sure.
