ORGANIC News

Welcome

Here Organic Nuts continue to make news…the good news being that organic nuts are very nutritious and considered a prime snack between meals. The bad news for organic nuts is the mandate by the USDA to require raw almonds, to include organic raw almonds, be PASTEURIZED or CHEMICALLY TREATED before shipment.

This mandate was based on two incidents in the last ten years where the dangerous Salmonella Bacteria was responsible for several illnesses. This involved two commercial handlers of California almonds, neither of whom handled certified organic growers. This decision resulted in a rather passive response from the Almond Board of California leaving the certified organic almond growers bewildered.

Presently, several organic nut growers are challenging this mandate through the courts. The Cornucopia Institute is actively working for the organic nut growers to have this decision reversed. For more information, please visit www.cornucopia.org and you will find a prominent link at the top of their Home Page.
