ORGANIC AND ALL NATURAL CHEESE

Organic, All Natural Cheeses.
Organic Cheese Standards The USDA sets very high standards for dairy farmers to be able to label their products Organic.
The process begins with the requirement of farming the land organically for three years prior to certification.
All animal feed must be certified organic, meaning that it must be all-natural, cannot be genetically modified, cannot be grown with chemical fertilizers, and must come from a certified organic farm.
Of course, although it creates significant limitations, pasture grazing on land that is not sprayed with insecticide is acceptable.
Milk producing animals may not be given antibiotics either. Inside the plant, all ingredients in addition to the milk must be certified organic, including rennet, cultures, and any flavorings and preservatives that may be added.
Once a farm achieves all of these standards, it can apply for certification through a licensed third-party agency.
What does organic mean?
Certified organic refers to agricultural products that have been grown and processed according to uniform standards, verified by independent state or private organizations accredited by the USDA.
All products sold as "organic" must be certified. Certification includes annual submission of an organic system plan and inspection of farm fields and processing facilities.
Inspectors verify that organic practices such as long- term soil management, buffering between organic farms and neighboring conventional farms, and recordkeeping are being followed.
Processing inspections include review of the facility's cleaning and pest control methods, ingredient transportation and storage, and recordkeeping and audit control.
Organic foods are minimally processed to maintain the integrity of food without artificial ingredients or preservatives.
Certified organic requires the rejection of synthetic agrochemicals, irradiation and genetically engineered foods or ingredients.
To find out more about the national organic certification requirements and organic program, please go to the USDA National Organic Program website www.ams.usda.gov/NOP/index Net.htm
What makes the cheese organic?
* The USDA organic standards are the strictest organic food labelling standards in the world.
* Certified organic farms are required to follow the strict production rules of the USDA's National Organic Standards (www.ams.usda.gov/nop), and are inspected and audited for compliance by an independent third party for compliance every year.
* Production plants, like the farms, are certified, inspected, and audited for compliance annually.
* Organic farmers do not use antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or synthetic pesticides in production.
* In the event of a life-threatening situation, antibiotics or other prohibited medications cannot be withheld and will be used by the farmer. However, those animals must then be permanently removed from organic production.
* Once certified organic, the cows receive only 100% certified organic feed.
* Organic cows are primarily fed on certified organic pasture during the grazing season, which provides better quality of life for the animal, superior animal health, and greater nutritive value in food derived from the animal.
* Certified feed and pasture are grown on land not treated with synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, or genetically modified organisms for a minimum of three years.
* Organic animals and feeds must not be genetically modified organisms or contain products from genetically modified sources.
Every truckload of milk is tested for antibiotics, temperature, and bacteria, and all organic milk processing plants are inspected to verify organic product is never mixed with conventional product, non-approved ingredients, or cleaning materials.
