Fraudulent Organic Certificate Alert

As received from the USDA National Organic Program;

Dear Anthony,

The National Organic Program (NOP) wanted to alert the organic trade and public to the presence of a fraudulent organic certificate.

USDA is also pleased to announce the 2012 National Farmer’s Market Directory.

Fraudulent organic certificates listing the following business are in use and have been recently reported to the NOP:

Asociación Proyectos Del Pueblo Colonia Iberia
Since 2009, no longer a certified organic operation

This certificate falsely represents agricultural products as certified organic under the USDA organic regulations, violating the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990.

The vigilance of the organic community is a vital force in ensuring organic integrity. Organic handlers should continue to review certificates carefully, validate with their certifying agents where needed, and send any suspicious certificates to the NOP Compliance and Enforcement team.
