Yes, in the US "organic" is a controlled term, and it is illegal to put the word "organic" on a food label unless it meets certain legal requirements: (b) Products sold, labeled, or represented as “organic.” A raw or processed agricultural product sold, labeled, or represented as “organic” must contain (by weight or fluid volume, excluding water and salt) not less than 95 percent organically produced raw or processed agricultural products. Any remaining product ingredients must be organically produced, unless not commercially available in organic form, or must be nonagricultural substances or nonorganically produced agricultural products produced consistent with the National List in subpart G of this part. If labeled as organically produced, such product must be labeled pursuant to §205.303. http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?rgn=div5&node=7:3.1.1.9.32#se7.3.205_1300 http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?rgn=div5&node=7:3.1.1.9...
