They do not certify any CBD product and should not be treated as a global set of organic-label rules.","columns":["Claim or document","What to check","Shortcut to avoid"],"rows":[["USDA ‘Organic’ product category","At least 95% certified organic content and the applicable category conditions","The USDA seal is allowed but optional."],["USDA ‘Made with’ specified organic ingredients","At least 70% certified organic content and the category wording","The USDA seal is not allowed in this category."],["EU organic farming logo","Its certification, product scope, control-body code and origin information","Cosmetics fall outside this farming logo’s scope."],["Certificate identifying a farm or ingredient","Which operation and products the certificate actually covers","Do not extend its scope automatically to the finished CBD blend."]]},"interpretationScope":"The percentages and seal rules above are USDA examples; the EU row concerns that farming logo. Neither verifies a particular product or establishes CBD content, medical effects or the rules of every certification scheme.","nextStep":"Copy the exact claim and ask for the certifier, current certificate and product scope.
