Organic refers not to the food itself, but to how it is produced.
Organic food production is based on a system of farming that maintains
and replenishes the fertility of the soil. Organic foods are produced without
the use of toxic pesticides and fertilizers. Organic foods are minimally
processed to maintain the integrity of the food without artificial ingredients,
preservatives or irradiation.
