In chemistry organic is concerned with the carbon compounds of living beings and also most other carbon compounds. So non organic would be what is left.

In food organic is referring to that which was produced without the use of hormones, antibiotics (for non-medicinal purposes), synthetic fertilizers or pesticides in accordance with the USDA National Organic Program (NOP). The use of the term is regulated by the NOP and only those products that meet the standards may use the term. Therefore all other products would be non organic.
