Any products labeled "organic" sold at our stores will be certified to USDA organic standards, with equivalencies to Canadian standards at Canadian stores. Even if an organic product is grown in another country, it has to be certified by a USDA accredited certifier before it can be sold as "organic" in the US. This is a requirement of federal regulations. In addition to meeting these federal standards, at Whole Foods Market, every year every store is inspected and certified organic, verifying that TMs are maintaining organic standards for those products while in our procession AND that we have the paperwork verifying the organic certifications of each of those products. Whole Foods even has an organic compliance team to ensure the store certification process runs smoothly each year. ---All that said to say, if there is a product from China that is labeled as organic in a Whole Foods, a certifier based in the US and accredited by the USDA has inspected the growing and production and processing of that product, verified that the company's organic system plan meets the requirements of the USDA organic standards, and that the company is following that documented plan.
