Organic foods come to Malmstrom commissary Published April 26, 2007 By Jacqueline Maillet HAWC Dietician MALMSTROM AIR FORCE BASE, Mont. -- Organic foods continue to grow in popularity and variety. The term "organic" now has a legal label definition so you know what you're buying if you choose organic foods. You may notice some foods with the "USDA Organic" seal. Here's what the term "organic" means on food labels: 100 percent organic: The product must contain only organically produced ingredients (except for water and salt). Organic: The product must contain at least 95 percent organically produced ingredients (except for water and salt). The other 5 percent are ingredients that aren't available in organic form or that appear on an approved list. Made with organic ingredients: Processed foods may bear this label if they contain at least 70 percent organic ingredients - for example, soup made with organic peas, potatoes and carrots. Remember, eating a variety of foods - organic or not - is important to health and should be a part of your overall eating plan.
