Are you Paying for More: Deconstructing the Organic Food Hype

Questioning Organic Food Labeling

In the midst of a booming organic food market, questions arise about the authenticity of organic labeling. Regulations vary by country but generally, to qualify as organic, a product should avoid synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilizers, and GMOs, giving way to stricter, more labor-intensive processes. Unfortunately, regulatory oversight can be lax in many countries, leading to allegations of "organic fraud," where products not genuinely meeting the criteria are marketed as organic.
