Armanino
Foods of Distinction, Inc. is proud to present the
beginning of a new line of 100% Organic Products. Now
available are the Basil Pesto and Tomato Garlic Pesto.
We were officially certified to pack organic sauces
by the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF).
CCOF
offers one of the most recognized and trusted seals in the
organic industry.
To receive
certification is not an easy feat;
all these standards must be
met for certification:
A
public or private certifying organization conducts annual
inspections of farms and food handlers and periodic
testing of soil and water to verify that a farm meets or
exceeds defined standards.
Organic
farmers are required to keep detailed records of purchases
and practices, which inspection agencies examine
systematically. All farmers and handlers are also required
to maintain written organic management plans.
Most
farms are required to farm organically for at least three
years before the food they produce can be labeled
certified organic. An exception to this rule are farms
that have not been growing organic products for the past
three years, but that have not used unapproved chemicals
during that time either. All farms, however, must have
been under the supervision of a certification agency for
the past 12 months before producing food that can be
labeled certified organic.
No
prohibited substances may be applied to the land during
that period.
Not
more than 5% of any organic-labeled processed food may
contain non-organic ingredients (excluding water and
salt).
These
Organic sauces are just as beautiful and flavorful as
their original counterparts.
