MN: YouTube Videos Clarify About Organic

News Date: 12/14/2010

Organic or natural?  When it comes to food labels, there is a difference - although the majority of consumers apparently don't know it.  To help cut down on the confusion, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) has created a series of six short YouTube videos that explain organic labeling.

According to the National Organic Program (NOP), about two-thirds of American consumers are confused about what organic means.  MDA organic specialist Meg Moynihan says while organic labeling can be complex, consumers deserve to understand these labels so they know they're getting what they want - and what they're paying for.  For more information, click here, or you can click here to view the videos.
