Maintaining the integrity of your organic products starts with verifying the organic status of your ingredients and suppliers. At CCOF, we want to highlight a valuable tool developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) called the USDA Organic Integrity Database (OID).
The OID is a comprehensive platform designed to help you track and verify organic certificates, operations, and compliance with USDA organic regulations. It offers a transparent way to confirm the certification status of your suppliers and ensure your products meet the clean, natural standards your customers trust.
Understanding how to effectively use the OID, particularly its advanced search function, can significantly enhance your verification process and fraud prevention plan. To support organic businesses like yours, CCOF has partnered with Strengthening Organic Systems (SOS) to create a user-friendly resource with clear, step-by-step instructions on conducting advanced searches within the OID.
