Annually we send out a product or raw material for Organic testing, is this a requirement for any GFSI audit. This cost a fortune of about 1,800.00 this year and would like to avoid it if possible.

I do not do organic testing, and I am a GFSI facility. I sure hope it's not a requirement!

What you may run into is that your program states you perform this annual test, and very probably has it listed in the program as part of your validation the organic program is working as intended. You also might have some reasoning in your validation as to why it's performed. And if all of that is the case, and you still want to change it ($1,800 a year is pretty cheap imo), there might be some 'system plan' changes that you need to communicate to your FS committee and document, depending on what GFSI you are under.

Do you claim on your label that your products are organic. If not, then you don't have to do it.
