Co-op Food Labeling

USDA Organic Seal:

A standard in the grocery industry, this green and white seal is heavily regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture. A product sporting this label must be at least 95 percent organic.

 

Fair Trade Labeling:

If a product is labeled as Fair Trade, typically it indicates the manufacturer adheres to standards ensuring fair wages and labor conditions, supporting democratic organizations, promoting community development, and practicing environmental sustainability.

 

No-GMO/No-GE labels:

Based on FDA guidelines, producers can choose to label their products “No GMO” if no genetically modified organisms were used in the production of the product. There is no requirement to label products that include the use of GMOs in the United States.
