[QUOTE=hateraid]If a company uses this symbol on their labels:

That's precisely what I was talking about. If you have only basic knowledge you know that is the only symbol that matters. Apparently Harry is trusting whatever people tell him or write on their package.
[QUOTE=boozehound]right, you came in with a disparaging attitude towards people who eat like this. You cant expect them to not respond with some snark or defensive animosity. Or in a somewhat apologetic way (like ALB).[/QUOTE]
Fair enough, I guess when anyone feels backed into a corner it's either fight or flight
My apologies to bankshot for taking that approach

It is a certification that is 100% upheld to the very highest standards. I work internally with a couple of companies who have this logo on their labels and there is 100% compliance
But in Harry's defense there are alot of companies who claim organic through various loopholes.
For example there's this wine company in California who says organic wine on the label. The wine itself is not made from organic grapes, but the rubber that presses it is organic material.
That may be a little extreme of an example but there are many companies who use that approach

I have no idea why you would think that. I rarely look at packaging in supermarkets, the only time when it really matters is if a reg and low-fat item have similar packaging.

wait... what? you're saying there's yet another 'conspiracy' afoot, and we all need to firebomb (or ignore) the FDA?
