ASTA Comments on the USDA Definition of the Term Natural

ASTA issued comments to the National Organic Program in August 2005 and in response to the "National Organic Program, Sunset Review" notice, urging the National Organic Standards Board to renew the exemptions allowing the use of certain nonorganic items as ingredients in processed products labeled as “organic” or made with organic.

ASTA sent a letter to Michael Enzi, Chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee, in May 2006 expressing support for the "National Uniformity for Food Act of 2006 and urging to make its passage a top priority.
