The country of origin for most of our products has very strict regulations for farming commercially; all of what we carry can be considered 'organic'.
The 'organic' designation itself very expensive to get, and a lot of producers--with the exception of an American celebrity-chef brand and one Italian label that is actually a large group of producers with many different products--can't afford that stamp/piece of paper (in the home country they don't need it).
A woman is looking for organic tomato sauce. I mention the specifically-organic brand (which is apparently not acceptable because she's never heard of it
...newsflash, most customers have never heard of 99.9% of our products but try them anyway), and point out that Italy has strict growing/processing standards, as a company we don't sell products with artificial anything/pesticide use/GMOs, etc. So any one of our fine sauces meets the accepted standards for 'organic'.
SC: "That doesn't have anything to do with my question. They're two completely different things."...she huffs off, with a final "You should know your products! I'll just find someone else!"
...who will tell you the exact same thing I just did. If you're so suspicious why not just grab the 'known' organic brand I mentioned first?
