Episode #122: Government Kowtowing & Alleged Industry Corruption in the Organic Label
Jan 04, 2024 Episode 122
Joel Salatin, Dr. Sina McCullough

Today is an action packed episode as we dive deeper into the potential corruption and possible fraud in the organic label.  We are joined by Mark Kastel, founder and executive director of OrganicEye, which is an organic industry watchdog.

OrganicEye has requested an investigation of the National Organic Program, alleging malfeasance because of corporate influence peddling in the form of financial payments to organic certifiers.  OrganicEye also filed a formal legal complaint against the nation’s largest certifier, CCOF, citing ”hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of contributions, advertising purchases, conference sponsorships, and other payments over and above certification fees.

Mark gives us a rundown of the current status of the organic label and OrganicEye’s efforts to restore its integrity.  He also explains how there are TWO organic labels in your grocery store and how to not get duped.
