Just because it says organic doesn’t automatically mean it’s healthy. 🌱
Organic cookies are still cookies, and highly processed foods can carry an organic label, too.
But there’s another important distinction: organic and bioengineered aren’t the same thing.
Under USDA organic standards, genetically engineered ingredients are prohibited. However, foods labeled “natural,” “non-GMO,” or “made with organic ingredients” can have different labeling requirements.
The takeaway? Don’t let the front of the package make the decision for you.
Turn it around. Read the ingredient list. Look beyond the marketing claims, and choose whole, minimally processed foods whenever possible.
A little label awareness goes a long way. 🌿
