Panic! These Products Aren’t Organic!
The Organic Consumer’s Association is one of the largest consumer protection organizations working to make sure people know exactly what’s in their food and cosmetics.
Recently, they started a new campaign called Coming Clean as a way to put pressure on stores that allow fake organic brands on their shelves.
Warning: participation in this campaign will require you to be a little bit of a rule breaker, and could get you in uncomfortable situations with nosy grocery store clerks…
If you’re tired of companies and retailers selling body care products as “organic” when they’re not, it’s take matters into your own hands: slap a free OCA ‘Panic! This product is not organic!’ sticker onto any bogus products you see, especially:
- Avalon Organics
- Nature’s Gate Organics
- Giovanni’s Organic
You can Download OCA’s Panic! This Product Is Not Organic! stickers here. (This PDF is set up to print 30 stickers on a sheet of Avery 48160 address labels.)
Don’t bother to sticker “bogus organic” body care products you might find in Whole Foods Markets. Whole Foods, in response to OCA’s Coming Clean Campaign, has agreed to ban and remove all mislabeled “organic” body care products from their stores by June of 2011.
