Agree if the produce is under USDA standards, but honey is not, at least
so far. You can have organic on the label, but not USDA organic if you
meet the criteria for organic (which is currently fairly loose when you
are not under a standard). Honey fits easily under the non-USDA label.
The key here is the difference between plain "organic" and organic under
the USDA seal.
