Gluten is a staple in many wholesome foods. But for millions of Americans with celiac disease, it can cause serious health problems. Celiac disease is a genetically-based disorder in which the small intestine is damaged by a substance called gluten. This results in inability of the intestine to absorb nutrients. The disease is managed with lifelong avoidance of gluten-containing products.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established a set of national standards that food labeled “organic” must meet, whether it is grown in the United States or imported from other countries. Today, when you buy food labeled “organic,” you can be sure it was produced using the highest organic production and handling standards in the world. Along with the national organic standards, the USDA has developed strict labeling rules to help consumers know the exact organic content of the food they buy. The USDA Organic seal tells you that a product is at least 95 percent organic.
