the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future
generations.
B. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given
antibiotics or growth hormones.
C. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers m
with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation.
D. Before a product can be labeled "organic," a Government-approved certifier inspect
