View Rule

This action seeks comments on the proposed amendments to USDA organic regulations that would clarify production and handling requirements for a) organic pet food standards and b) organic mushrooms.  These products are currently certified organic to the standards for similar products like those for human consumption (pet food) or for crops (mushrooms). The proposed action seeks to increase regulatory certainty for these markets and, in turn, support investment, product development, and availability of products in the market.  The title and scope of the previous action for this RIN (05810-AE13) titled "Organic Pet Food Standards" has been revised to include the establishment of standards for the production and certification of mushrooms, which was previously proposed under now withdrawn RIN 0851-AE14.
