A product will have the claim "made with organic [ingredient x"], and ingredient x is >70% of the product.
There are some spices included in this product, which make up <5%. I understand these spices don't need to be certified organic, can they be treated with ethylene oxide (eto) or propylene oxide (ppo)?
From what I understand, USDA NOP says that synthetic substances aren't allowed in these nonorganic ingredients. Since eto and ppo are synthetic, and not on the National List of allowed substances, these spices cannot be used in this product. It makes sense in my head, but is it accurate?
Thanks for your help.
