Resources and Helpful Tools
SOS Organic Integrity Library
Verify the Organic Status of Your Ingredients and Suppliers
There is an excellent tool for tracking and verifying organic certificates, operations, and compliance with the USDA organic regulations. It’s called the USDA Organic Integrity Database (OID). The OID is an important and powerful database, especially if you know how to perform an advanced search. It’s also the official verification location for organic certification status.
To support SOS clients and other businesses dedicated to organic integrity, SOS has developed a helpful resource with step-by-step instructions on how to perform an OID Advanced Search.
