National Organic Program

The National Organic Program (NOP) is a federal law that requires all organic food products to meet the same standards and be certified under the same certification process. All organic producers and handlers must be certified by accredited organic certification agencies unless exempt or excluded from certification.

Through our Material Registration Program, WSDA Organic Food Program has evaluated the formulations of the products on the Brand Name Material List and determined that they comply with the National Organic Standards. Producers and handlers may use the products on this list and have confidence that their use will not negatively affect the status of their certification.
