2011-10415 National Organic Program; Periodic Residue Testing Proposed Rule This proposed rule would clarify a provision of the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 and the regulations issued thereunder that require periodic residue testing of organically produced agricultural products by accredited certifying agents. The proposed rule would amend the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Organic Program (NOP) regulations to make clear that accredited certifying agents must conduct periodic residue testing of agricultural products that are to be sold, labeled, or represented as "100 percent organic," organic," or "made with organic (specified ingredients or food group(s))." The proposed rule would expand the amount of residue testing of organically produced agricultural products by clarifying that sampling and testing are required on a regular basis. The proposed rule would require that certifying agents, on an annual basis, sample and conduct residue testing from a minimum of five percent of the operations that they certify. This action would help further ensure the integrity of products produced and handled under the NOP regulations. 2011-04-29 2011 4 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2011/04/29/2011-10415/national-organic-program-periodic-residue-testing https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2011-04-29/pdf/2011-10415.pdf Agriculture Department; Agricultural Marketing Service 12,9 This proposed rule would clarify a provision of the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 and the regulations issued thereunder that require periodic residue testing of organically produced agricultural products by accredited certifying agents.
