Summary
The bill changes the Organic Foods Production Act so producers can verify that their soil or growing medium contains no prohibited substances by using tests approved by the USDA Secretary. It also requires the Secretary to begin rulemaking within 60 days to set standards for those tests. The goal is to boost confidence in organic produce and help growers meet demand.
