USDA PUBLISHES ORGANIC ENFORCEMENT FINAL RULE
On Jan. 18, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's National Organic Program
previewed the Strengthening Organic
Enforcement (SOE) final rule. This update to
the USDA organic regulations strengthens
oversight and enforcement of the
production, handling, and sale of organic
products. This final rule implements 2018
Farm Bill mandates, responds to industry
requests for updates to the USDA organic
regulations, and addresses National Organic
Standards Board recommendations.
" Protecting and growing the organic
sector and the trusted USDA organic seal
is a key part of the USDA Food Systems
Transformation initiative, " said Under
Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory
Programs Jenny Lester Moffitt. " The
Strengthening Organic Enforcement
rule is the biggest update to the organic
regulations since the original Act in
1990, providing a significant increase
in oversight and enforcement authority
to reinforce the trust of consumers,
farmers and those transitioning to organic
production. This success is another
demonstration that USDA fully stands
behind the organic brand. "
SOE protects organic integrity and
bolsters farmer and consumer confidence
in the USDA organic seal by supporting
strong organic control systems,
improving farm to market traceability,
increasing import oversight authority
and providing robust enforcement of the
organic regulations.
SOE complements and supports
the many actions that USDA takes to
protect the organic label, including the
registration of the USDA organic seal
trademark with the USPTO. The registered
trademark provides authority to deter
uncertified entities from falsely using the
seal, which together with this new rule
provides additional layers of protection to
the USDA organic seal.
