WASHINGTON, DC: After an extensive audit and investigation of alleged
improprieties at the USDA's National Organic Program, the agency's
Office of Inspector General (OIG) made public their formal report,
dated March 9, substantiating the allegations of prominent organic
industry watchdog groups — that under the Bush administration, the
USDA did an inadequate job of enforcing federal organic law.

Lot's of reading....

PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED: OIG issued 14 recommendations to NOP for
improvements. AMS has agreed with all of them.

no surprise there, under the previous administration an inadequate job
was done by way of policy.

Why would anyone with a brain enforce a law about something that
doesn't exist... there is no such thing as organic farming.

Isn't it usually either one way or the other? It all boils down to
not enough inspectors in the field. The foreign produce is inspected
even less. No wonder Walmart can stock it.
