Is Giant Eagle “Market District” brand organic baby food really organic?
I can’t find any info on this. From my research, it is the most reasonably priced organic baby food. I know that everyone’s definition of organic is different.
I’m mainly concerned about the three year lapse between farms using non-organic fertilizers and pesticides and hormones used in their livestock. I’d also prefer lower levels of preservatives and overly processed food.
Thanks ahead of time for any insight.
There are specific foods that we do not want to make ourselves, mainly for cost reasons. We are planning on making certain foods ourselves.
Please stay on topic.
if it has the USDA green and white seal on it it is considered Organic according to the USDA NOP. That said, it is industrial Organic and likely the farm has not been Organically managed long enough (generally 10 to 15 years after the farm first goes into transition) for the soils to be healthy and lively but you will get less chemical residue on the foods and no GMO’s.
As far as transitional food is concerned if the farm is transitioning to organic it cannot sell it’s food as Organic so that food will not be in any Organic baby food, period. the livestock on any Organic farm or a farm transitioning to Organic cannot have had antibiotics or hormones given to it, ever. So what is typically done is any livestock farm going from conventional to organic has to sell all its’ animals as well as tear down its’ feed lots and barns and build 100% new as CFO type animal husbandry is 100% forbidden in an Organic farm management system-no caging, no tail docking, no beak clipping and all must have access to pasture. What i am getting at is you will rarely find a livestock CFO ever transitioning to organic because the management systems are so different and it would take a factory farm tens of millions of dollars to switch from one system to another and that would be a money loser all the way around.
Realize that organic foods are going down in price and conventionally raised foods are going up in price
