The federal laws governing organics are clear.

There is little doubt that the continuance of celery powder on the National List\u00a0violates the trust of consumers who seek out organic food as a safe haven from what is conventionally offered in the supermarket and all too often contains dangerous and risky ingredients.<\/p>\n
