Yes, CCOF certification confers the ability to use either the CCOF seal or the USDA seal (or both) on products sold as “100% Organic” and “Organic.” The USDA seal may not be used on products labeled as “Made with Organic (list of specific ingredients).” USDA National Organic Program standards define the labeling requirements for certified organic products.

Since 1973, the CCOF seal has been recognized as a mark of excellence in the organic marketplace and throughout the world. The USDA seal denotes certification to the National Organic Program and is the official mark of U.S. organic products; it also enjoys widespread consumer recognition in the U.S. and other foreign markets.
