{UPDATED NOVEMBER 2014} Perfect Body Harmony has now gained approval for the Certified Organic USDA Seal on our packaging for our shea butter and cocoa butter products. Our certification is through Oregon Tilth. The new packaging including the USDA Organic Seal is in stock in the Amazon warehouse now. This is for both the Shea Butters (17.5 oz Large Jar, the 16.0 oz BAR in the Gold UV Bag) and our Certified Organic Cocoa Butter.

Well, the first answer says it. With "organic" it is often a kind of trust, not only with this product but many others. "Organic" is watered down by big companies who jump on the band wagon to increase profit. All I can say is that this product, compared to the one I bought a while ago is much better. It is exactly as the company describes it. I use it on my face and it does wonder;-).

if it has the USDA Organic seal on it then I trust it because to have that seal, you have to go through a pretty strict application process. The term "Organic" is legally defined and contrary to what the other poster said, cannot be "watered down" by big companies. The seal will tell you who certified it as organic. USDA Organic is as good as it gets, but I appreciate that they went through both the Oregon Tilth and USDA certification processes. This is why I chose this product over the others. On the other hand, if you see the word "natural," that has no legal meaning and can be bandied about by big companies as much as they want. if it has the USDA Organic seal on it then I trust it because to have that seal, you have to go through a pretty strict application process.

It's in a resealable silver plastic bag. Mine says "Oyster Bay Spice" "Organic Turmeric 1lb". It does not look like the one on the picture titled Starwest Botanicals and the bar codes etc. It does NOT have the USDA Organic seal Item numbers or bar codes. I feel like it is false advertising and the package looks shady, because of this I will not be consuming this. I bought it from Oyster Bay Spice Company. Can someone please reply to me if this happened to you too. Thanks!

The bottle label, does not say certified organic. It does have a stamp that says " 100% pure natural product". It also states "100 % pure organic". Ingrediant listing has only "100 % Pure Virgin Organic Argan Nut Oil

Not sure, but it comes from Koda Farms which is a certified organic facility

It does not say on the packaging only that it is certified organic...email www.ToddsSeeds.com and ask them they are very nice and will be happy to tell you. Great seeds though, sprout really fast with wonderful germination rate.

Not sure if it's organic, but I am sure that mine wasn't sealed when I received it....very poor sealing process or just old maybe. Seal was only sticking in one small spot...so who knows what's in there?

There are two labels in it. One says "USDA organic" and the other says "International Quality Assurance". And, Kosher Certified by Kosher Certification Services. The origin is from Germany. I hope it is truly from Germany and not from China as other reviewers have mentioned. I understand that China has a history of unethical practice like shipping fake honey to other country and then relabeling it to make the honey appear as if it's a different country of origin.

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 Sargoli, thank you for your question, it's an important one. It's easy for anyone to claim to be organic, especially online. Our supplier is certified organic, however we can't display the certified organic logo until our product labelling goes through the same process. We just launched this product and so are in the process of getting the certification, and expect to have that within the next month. We can send you the certification from our supplier if you would like that assurance, until we have ours on the package. Thank-you again for your question, I hope you'll give our product a try. - Gerry UPDATE Mar 26, 2014: being new to the organic certification process, naive us discovered there is a mountain trail of paperwork and steps to follow. Who knew? This is going to take a few more months still, and much time, unfortunately. Double discouraging given the supplier is already certified, makes one wonder the value in these detailed processes.

I have long since repackaged it in an air tight container and threw out the bag/label. What made it ok 4 me was certified organic claim.

My package came marked organic. I don't know why there would be another option, you may have to ask Amazon about that to see if there is a mislabeling.

It is Quality Assurance International Organic. According to this website, that is USDA approved Organic. http://www.qai-inc.com/about/usda_nop.asp

No...there is no official Organic "seal". With that, I do like the oil a lot.........I've been using it for about three months.

Good question! I did not see anything organization on their label that they made claim to. Perhaps you can call the company. I assume since it is grown wild that the word organic can be used instead of the strict requirements needed to use the labeling: "certified organic".

It appears to be certified by OCIA at http://www.ocia.org/It is stamped right on the bag as plan as can be. "Certified Organic by OCIA".If it is not certified by OCIA, then this is misrepresentation.
