USDA Ushers In New Organic Food Labels

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New organic food labels regulated by the U.S. Agriculture Department made their debut on Monday, enabling household names like Kraft Foods Inc to tell consumers which products are free of pesticides and genetically modified crops. Food makers ranging from giant corporations like General Mills Inc to independent firms such as Annie's Naturals and Honest Tea can now market their organic products under a federally approved USDA seal. "Today, when consumers see the USDA national organic seal on products, they will know that the products labelled organic will be consistent across the country," Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman said in a statement. To carry the new USDA seal, organic products cannot include pesticides or genetically modified ingredients, or be irradiated to kill bacteria and lengthen shelf life. Meats sold as organic cannot be produced from animals that receive antibiotics. Before these labels were issued, the term "organic" was defined under a hodgepodge of state, regional and private certifier standards, creating confusion about its meaning. The circular, USDA organic sticker is similar to the "USDA Prime" shield on beef or the grade labels on egg cartons. However, organic producers and grocers were advertising their products as a better alternative. "Like using a seat belt or bicycle helmet, choosing organic products is a simple way to reduce exposure to the potential for harm caused by the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers," said Katherine DiMatteo, executive director of the Organic Trade Association. Margaret Wittenberg, vice president for Whole Foods Market Inc., said organic products were an alternative for consumers seeking to "protect the wellness of the environment, their families and themselves." U.S. consumers will find three types of organic labels in grocery stores. Products that are entirely organic will have a "100 percent organic" USDA label. Those with at least 95 percent organic ingredients can have a USDA "organic" stamp. Foods with at least 70 percent organic ingredients cannot use the USDA seal, but their labels can say "made with organic ingredients." The organic industry is the fastest growing U.S. agriculture sector, increasing at about 20 percent annually. Sales of organic foods are expected to reach $11 billion in 2003, more than double the amount five years ago, according to the Organic Trade Association. The USDA said more than 6,900 farmers were certified organic last year. To pay for the additional costs of growing and manufacturing these foods, consumers usually have to pay a hefty premium, ranging from 10 percent to 50 percent above conventional foods. Violators of the USDA's labelling program could be fined up to $10,000. Some overseas competitors say the new USDA labels may shut them out of the lucrative U.S. organic market. The Danish Dairy Board said on Monday its organic exports were at serious risk as many small farms could not meet stringent U.S. regulations. "I think Danish exports of organic dairy products to the U.S. are going to disappear, at least for now," said Anne-Mette Arve, head of the Danish Dairy Board's Economic and Political Department.

Glossary of useful commercial worms.

 

Red Wigglers (Eisenia fetida)	The red wiggler is the most common type of composting worm.   It can process large amounts of organic matter and, under ideal conditions, can eat it's body weight each day.  It also reproduces rapidly, and is very tolerant of variations in growing conditions.  Other names for red wigglers include Tiger worms, Garlic worms, Manure worms, and Brandling worms.
Red Worms (Lumbricus rubellus)	The redworm is a very good composting worm.  In sunlight, it is a very active wriggler and is thought by many fishermen to be irresistible to fish.   Redworms are very effective at aerating and mixing the soil, and consume a large amount of organic material, although less than red wigglers.  These worms are commonly found in decomposing animal manure and compost piles.  Other names include Red worms, blood worms, and red wiggler (but not the same as the worm described above).
Red Tiger (Eisenia andrei)	The Red Tiger worm makes an excellent composting worm.  It is a close relative of the Red Wiggler (E. fetida) and are commonly used as a bait worm because they exude coelomic fluid, which attracts fish.  These worms are very active wigglers in sunlight.  Other common names include Tiger worms and Red Tiger hybrids.
Blue Worms (Perionyx excavatus)	Blue worms have become more popular in recent years as a composting worm.  These worms do very well in warm climates, but dislike the cold.   Although these worms eat fairly large amounts of organic materials and are fairly prolific breeders, they are also very sensitive to changes in their growing environment.   If the conditions in the bin change only slightly, these worms have been known to leave.  Other common names include Indian Blue and Malaysian Blue worms. This worm is also excellent for fishing as it is much easier to hook with out killing the worm, having only nine segments from the mouth to the Clitellum.
African Nightcrawlers (Eudrilus engeniae)	The African Nightcrawler can be a good composting worm, but is very sensitive to changes in their environment.  The entire contents of some worm bins have been know to move out in less than a day if growing conditions are not to their liking.  These worms also perform much better in warmer climates and are not recommended for areas where the temperature falls below 50° F.   These worms do not eat as much organic materials as E. fetida, L. rubellus or E. andrei.  The other common name for this worm is the giant nightcrawler.
Nightcrawlers (Lumbricus terristris)	Nightcrawlers are one of the most common types of worms normally found in your yard and garden.  These worms are popular bait worms because they are large and easy to place onto fishing hooks, although they are not easy to raise they are relatively tolerant of variations in growing conditions.  Nightcrawlers are not a particularly good worm for use in a vermicomposting bin, since they like their burrows undisturbed and prefer to eat things found on top of the soil.
