USDA Organic Certification

Protect the planet and verify the organic integrity of your products at any stage of the global supply chain.

For more than 30 years, Quality Assurance International, part of NSF, has been an active industry leader in the fast-growing U.S. organic sector, which represents about 40% of the global organics market. We provide certification to the national organic standards, under a federal regulation created by the USDA and administered by the National Organic Program (NOP).

The USDA Organic Seal and the QAI mark both stand for assurance that a product has been verified as organic in compliance with the strict USDA national organic standards.
