Nature’s Path products were the first USDA certified organic cereals on the market and since then our company and founders have worked tirelessly to keep organic advocacy at the forefront of our mission. We continually invest in farmland, converting it to organic, and we always challenge organic standards for the better.
What Is Organic
Simply stated, organic refers to the way agricultural products are grown and processed. Organic regulations place strict limits and prohibitions on the use of toxic and persistent pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge and irradiation. Organic farmers rely on natural substances and physical, mechanical, and biologically based farming methods to the fullest extent possible. Organic is more than simply not using chemicals, it is about building healthy soil for the future.

Common ingredients used in non-organic farming are pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms, and ionizing radiation.
