• Natural foods are often assumed to be foods that are minimally processed and do not contain any hormones, antibiotics or artificial flavors. On the other hand, only Organic guarantees no toxic synthetic pesticides, toxic synthetic herbicides and no antibiotics or synthetic growth hormones. 

 

• Organic producers and processors also are subject to rigorous announced/unannounced certification inspections to ensure that they are producing and processing organic products in a manner you and your family can trust.

 

Natural producers, however, are not certified and so have no such regulations.
