When buying organic foods, look for the “USDA Organic” label. Only foods in the categories “100% organic” and “organic” may display the USDA Organic Seal. Other foods with varying levels of organic ingredients may be labeled as follows:

• “100% organic” – contains single ingredient, such as a fruit, vegetable, meat, milk, and cheese (excludes water and salt).
• “Organic” – multiple ingredient foods which are 95 to 100% organic.
• “Made with organic ingredients”– at least 70% of ingredients are organic. The organic seal cannot be used on these foods.
• “Contains organic ingredients”– contains less than 70% organic ingredients.
