Organic System Plan (OSP) Development

Build the core document describing how your operation meets USDA organic standards, including recordkeeping practices. This is the plan your certifying agent reviews before granting or renewing certification.

USDA National Organic Program (NOP) Compliance

Align your operation with the specific standards set by the USDA National Organic Program, covering allowed substances, practices, and recordkeeping. We help translate these federal standards into procedures your team can actually follow.

Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE) Compliance

Meet the expanded certification and recordkeeping requirements introduced under the SOE rule for importers, brokers, and traders. This keeps your supply chain compliant with the newer oversight standards.

Organic Importer Compliance

Confirm that organic products entering the United States meet USDA certification and documentation requirements. This covers the specific recordkeeping importers are responsible for under organic rules.

Organic Handler Compliance

Build the practices and documentation required for businesses that handle organic product after it leaves the farm. This includes storage, transport, and commingling controls that protect organic integrity.

Organic Packinghouse Compliance

Set up the organic controls specific to packing operations, including facility segregation and labeling accuracy. This keeps organic product properly identified and traceable through the packing process.

Organic Processor Compliance

Build the documentation and practices required for processors that transform organic ingredients into finished products. This covers ingredient sourcing, facility controls, and labeling requirements.

Organic Labeling Review

Review product labels to confirm organic claims match what your certification actually allows. This helps avoid labeling violations that can jeopardize your certification.

Mass Balance & Traceability Systems

Build the recordkeeping system that tracks organic product volume from input through output, confirming nothing is over-claimed. This is a core requirement that certifiers and USDA reviewers look for during an audit.

Organic Fraud Prevention & Supply Chain Controls

Put controls in place to prevent organic fraud across your supply chain, from supplier verification to recordkeeping. This protects your certification and your customers' trust in your organic claims.

Frequently Asked Questions

The USDA National Organic Program, or NOP, sets the federal standards for how organic products are grown, handled, processed, and labeled in the United States. It applies to anyone in the organic supply chain, including growers, handlers, packinghouses, processors, and importers.
Mass balance is a recordkeeping method that tracks the volume of organic product coming into an operation against what goes out, confirming that organic claims are not overstated. USDA and certifying agents review mass balance records during audits to catch potential organic fraud.
Yes. We work with growers, handlers, and processors based in Florida as well as operations across the United States and internationally.
Only products that meet the specific USDA organic percentage thresholds can use terms like "organic" or the USDA organic seal, and the wording depends on whether a product is 100 percent organic, organic, or made with organic ingredients. We review labels to confirm claims match what your certification actually supports.
Organic fraud occurs when a product is falsely labeled or sold as organic without meeting USDA certification requirements, often to charge a premium price. Prevention relies on supplier verification, mass balance recordkeeping, and supply chain traceability controls.
Yes. Handlers face different requirements than growers, focused on storage, transport, and preventing commingling with non-organic product, rather than field-level growing practices.
An organic packinghouse typically needs to maintain facility segregation records, labeling documentation, and traceability records showing organic product stayed properly identified through the packing process. These records are reviewed during your annual organic inspection.
The Strengthening Organic Enforcement rule added new certification and recordkeeping requirements for importers, brokers, and traders handling organic products, closing gaps that previously allowed uncertified parties to handle organic goods. Importers now need documentation that was not always required before this rule took effect.
