While all organic foods carry this basic seal of approval, other words on the label indicate the quantity of organic ingredients the food contains:

• “100% organic” means the food contains only organically produced raw or processed ingredients, with the exception of water and salt.
• “Organic” indicates that 95% of the ingredients are organically produced.
• “Made with organic ingredients” denotes that at least 70% of the ingredients in the product are organic.
