Suspended and Revoked USDA Organic Operations – Huge Listing

All organic operations certified to the USDA organic standards are required to comply with all National Organic Program regulations (7 CFR Part 205). If a non-compliance is identified, the operation is notified in writing. If an operation fails to correct the non-compliance or otherwise resolve it, the operation’s organic certification is suspended or revoked. The distinction between suspension and revocation depends on the severity of the non-compliance. A suspended operation may not sell or represent their product as USDA organic until it is reinstated in writing. A revoked operation or a person responsible for a revoked operation may not obtain certification for a period of five years.
