Check the definition of "organic." There is no requirement regarding food additives, save that the additives themselves must also be organic. Nothing is stopping the organic farmers from introducing these additives any more than it compelling the conventional farmers to do so. Whether they do or don't is entirely a matter of goodwill.
- antonovka 17y agoWhether they do or don't is entirely a matter of goodwill. Not good will, but rather responding to market demand. The 'organic' buyers are more likely to read the ingredients list.
- JulianMorrison 17y agoSee my last sentence above. The connection of organic and not-messed-about is indirect - the same buyers demand both characteristics. Adam Smith gave a good explanation of such "goodwill".
