Following a previous post, an article in the Los Angeles Times, reported Anheuser-Busch’s announcement that since the USDA has not yet approved the list of 38 additional non-organic ingredients, their organic beers are now 100% organic. Active consumers sent over 1,ooo complaints to The National Organic Program about the list of non-organic ingredients. Permission to use some non-organic ingredients in foods expired Saturday which leaves the question open for food manufactures. Anheuser-Busch had previously used only 10% organic hops in their beers and are uncertain how to maintain production of 100% organic hops. The Organic Consumers Association continually updates news of changes in standards and provides action solutions for frustrated consumers.
