What does organic really mean?

The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture has strict rules about what really constitutes organic food and can carry the label. Food must be produced without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics or growth hormones.
To clarify some labels you might be reading:
100 PERCENT ORGANIC All the ingredients in multi ingredient foods with this label are organic. This would be the same as the USDA organic label.
ORGANIC Products with this label contain atleast 95 percent organic ingredients. The remaining ingredients may not be available organic but approved by the USDA's National Organic Program.
MADE WITH ORGANIC INGREDIENTS Products that have this phrase on their label must contain at least 70 percent organic ingredients.
