| According to the guidelines set forth by FIFRA, any product that makes a pesticide claim must be registered with the EPA so that the product can be reviewed against standards for human health and environmental safety. An exception to this rule exists for products based on certain active ingredients; the 25(b) List, which are considered minimum risk products. This allows leeway for a company in presenting its product, potentially misleading the customer into thinking that they are buying organic products when they are not. For exempt pesticides, all inert ingredients must be on EPA List 4A, and must be disclosed on the label. Certain products may be marketed as EPA-exempt by listing an active ingredient that appears on the 25(b) List, claiming all other ingredients are non-active. This could cause some confusion as to the nature of the product. Conclusion Be wary of companies who use words like "organic" or "‘natural" all over their label without proper certification from the USDA or OMRI®. An example of how a label can mislead the consumer by using statements such as "Made with 100% Certified Organic Oils." This manufacturer tries to pass the product off as being fully "organic." These companies rely on and expect consumer ignorance. Fancy labeling and the word "organic" typed in a large font does not make a product organic!
