USDA Organic Certification

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.
