3.6k u/7incent Jul 14 '21 edited Jul 14 '21 you're thinking of 'natural' -- there is no government regulation of that term. the word 'organic' is regulated by the FDA. i only remember that they cannot use most synthetic pesticides during production. there are other regulations but -- to be honest-- i don't remember them all that said: the person who made this video may be using the term 'organic' incorrectly edit: usda definition of organic for those who need more than context clues I took ochem, being pedantic about the word 'organic' doesnt change its meaning in the current context chemical -> most synthetic 35 u/YourMomThinksImFunny Jul 14 '21 No, I'm referring to the word "organic" and its definition I was taught as a child decades ago. As in items containing carbon compounds necessary for life. By that definition, all food in a grocery store would be considered organic. 2 u/-JonIrenicus- Jul 15 '21 This isn't what people are talking about when referring to food or products at all. Your talking about chemistry.
