H.R.7406

The Meeting Demand for Organic Produce Act allows organic producers to confirm the absence of prohibited substances through testing.

The Meeting Demand for Organic Produce Act amends the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 to give organic producers the option to confirm the absence of prohibited substances through testing. This change provides flexibility in verifying the absence of synthetic chemicals in the growing medium. The Secretary of Agriculture must issue guidelines and criteria for approved verification methods within 60 days of the Act's enactment to ensure accuracy and reliability.
