The USDA is proposing to amend the National Organic Program regulations to reflect the legislative changes made in Congress.

The USDA proposal could allow:

· Young dairy cows to be treated with antibiotics and fed genetically engineered feed prior to being converted to organic production.

· Numerous synthetic substances, including over 500 food contact substances, to be used in organic foods without public review and approval by the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB).
