There is no standard dictating what organic means. Many 'organic' products use processes and methods that most people would not recognize as organic. A consumer buying an organic product has little to no knowledge of whether the producer is being faithful to the concept. Add a huge price markup for organic products and many producers are incentivized to mark products organic even if they really aren't - and many are doing so. There are attempts to standardize, but none have the recognizability needed by the majority of the populace to make them effective.
