Dr. Bronners and The OCA Victory For Certified Organic Labeling

This press release from the OCA appeared in commondreams.org a couple of days ago:

USDA Yields in Battle Over Access of Personal Care to National Organic Program

This came about because of OCA's Coming Clean Campaign for strong organic standards, under which thousands of consumers and hundreds of businesses have been mobilized.

"This is a major victory for organic consumers who rely on NOP certification to ensure that their personal care and other non-food consumable products like pet foods contain real organic ingredients free from unnecessary synthetic ingredients," said Ronnie Cummins, OCA founder and National Director.

What is almost as amazing as the fact that the USDA yielded to pressure and decided to follow it's own rules (Organic standards Act), is that Common Dreams reported this good news. Normally, bad news rules.
