Question:

I have received information from a store stating that honey they sell is
certified organic and thus can have "Organic" on it's label.

Here is the info:

"Our Honey is certified organic by the Organic Crop Improvement
Association (OCIA). Their rules state: 'Apiaries must not be located
within 2 miles of garbage dumps, sanitary landfills,,.......flowering
agricultural crops which have been sprayed with non-OCIA accepted
pesticides...'"


Can anyone corroborate this for me please?

Thanks,
Adam
