What percentage of ingredients in a product has to be organic for the product to be considered organic?

In the US, the Organic Food Production Act 1990 regulates organics. To have the USDA (US Department of Agriculture) seal on a product, the product must be certified organic and contain at least 95% organically produced ingredients. There are two categories of labeling that are permitted to use the USDA seal. These are, 1. 100% certified organic ingredients. These producers may identify 100% organic ingredients on front label. 2. 95% or more certified organic ingredients. These producers may identify "organic" on front label. These (above two) are the only conditions where the USDA seal may be used. You may see two additional categories of organic labeling. 3. Containing 70% or greater of organically produced ingredients can be labeled on the front of the package saying "made with organic (whatever it is)". An example of this would be cereal with organic blueberries. In this example the label may say "made with organic blueberries". No seal is permitted. 4. Containing less than 70% organic ingredients may make no front panel claims. However, can list the organic ingredient as such on the side panel. For example, pasta sauce may say "organic parsley" in the list of ingredients. No seal is permitted. In Canada the Organic Products Regulations has a phasing in period for organic labeling which ends in December 2008. This would require 95% organic ingredients and organic certification to have the Canadian Organic logo on the package.

Which state produces the most organic beef?

There is not reliable information regarding which state. However, in researching various ranchers selling grass-fed-beef, also known as pasture-raised-beef,which are organic beef if done properly, it appears Texasmay be the winner.According to the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service, which just recently completed the first ever nationwide survey of organic producers:If you look at both certified organic producers andproducers who are exempt from certification (but claim to raise beef cattle in accordance with "organic" standards), California had the highest "peak number" inventory* (5,403) of organic beef cattle during 2008, as well as the highest inventory on Dec 31, 2008 (5,081). These California numbers represent about 11-12 percent of the US total. Wyoming was in second place with 4,720 peak number and 4,615 Dec 31 inventory. In third place was Wisconsin, with 3,350 and 2,943.If you look only at certified organic producers, California again leads all States with a peak number of 5,177 head and a Dec 31 inventory of 4,894 head. Wyoming's numbers for certified farms are not published to avoid disclosure of individual operations - I suspect it's in second place, but can't tell you how many head. Wisconsin has the next highest published inventories, at 3,068 for peak number and 2,717 Dec 31 inventory.Texas is between 10th and 15th on the list, depending on how you look at it.Note, these are not "beef production" statistics, as the question asked for, but "beef cattle inventory" statistics. However, assuming the cattle have similar average weights across States and similar slaughter yields, one can reason that the total beef production rankings are the same.See more information on organic agriculture at the web site linked below.* "Peak number" is not the largest inventory in the state at any point during the year. Rather, it is the sum of the largest inventories for each producer in the state, which were likely held on different days.
