USDA Backs Down

Once again Dr. Bronner's has shown it's better to fight for what's right rather than to roll over and play dead. Here is the Washington Post's version of the Associated Press story 'Organic' Seal for Cosmetics Approved. All of the current Google News Hits can be seen here.

Here are two of the original press releases on this story: Organic Consumers Association: USDA Yields in Battle Over Access of Personal Care to National Organic Program; Organic Non-Food Products Qualify, Says USDA and USDA Relents on Scope of National Organic Program. Congratulations to all who were involved in this action!

Thanks so much for the complete coverage of this extremely important issue, now consumers have the gaurantee that they are using really organic products when they see this seal. People still unfortunately have to look out for the word 'organics' in the name of the brand, as some companies are sneaking it in without the level of integrity that the USDA seal proves. Thanks again for your comments, and yes congratulations to Dr. Bronner's and the OCA!
