“ The notification proposes to amend the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National List of Allowed and Prohibited substances for inclusion of 38 substances along with any restrictive annotations to the national list regulations 205.606.APEDA have examined the thirty-eight substances which are of agricultural origin, but are not organically produced for use as ingredients / processing aids in or on processed products labeled as organic. The list of the proposed products for inclusion are annexed along with the proposed rules of NOP.
