Organic produce is grown without the use of pesticides and minimizes the use of
off-farm inputs. In general, Organic produce is also greater in nutrients
because the plants are allowed to grow fully and the soil has time to regenerate
- according to nature's timeframe. In many cases, organic produce had 2 to 3
times more vitamins and antioxidants than non-organic samples.
Pesticides, hormones and antibiotics can affect a baby's under-developed immune and
digestive system and has been linked to developmental problems. Organic
agricultural practices seek to optimize the health and productivity of
interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and people.
Not only is Organic safer for baby, but organic foods have been found to taste
better too. Why not start your baby on the best tasting, most nutritious, safest
food available?

Implemented in 2002, the USDA Organics certification system went through over a
decade of development. For packaged foods, only products that contain at least
95% organically produced ingredients (the other 5% must come from an approved
National Organic Program list) can use the seal on its packaging and must be
made in facilities that are certified to meet strict USDA Organic guidelines.
Certified by an independent third-party, all USDA products must show
documentation that allows full traceability from the retailer shelves to the
field where the organic ingredients were grown.
Plum Organics products are proud to bear the USDA Organic seal and are certified Organic by Oregon Tilth.

GMO means Genetically Modified Organism. It is an agricultural practice that has
been initiated to create greater yield in the growing of certain crops by
splicing genes and cross breeding different specie strains to generate larger
fruits and vegetables with greater yield. It is a practice that has created a
lot of controversy because it impacts the nutritional value of produce and the
future of sustainable agriculture. By using only organically grown produce, Plum
Organics is a non-GMO product.
We are proud supporters of The Institute for Responsible Technology, a non-profit
organization working hard to provide tools for consumers committed to Non-GMO products.
