What is Organic Food?

Organic farming is a specific method of food production, involving crop rotation and effective animal and environmental management.

Should a food product be an organically processed one then a minimum of 95% of that product needs to have been produced organically or 95% of the ingredients of that product need to be organic.

Few additives are employed in the production of organic food.
