Organic foods are distinguished by three factors:


(1) by agricultural methods that promote the biological health of the soil,

(2) without the use of any synthetic fertilizers or pesticides (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and rodenticides) 

(3) by food handling methods that ensure the integrity of the product from the field to the buyer’s table.
