Which of the following is not a condition required by the government to label food “organic”?

A. Contains 95% organic ingredients

B. Animals must have access to the outdoors

C. Produced without conventional pesticides

D. Crop must be harvested by hand

Answer – D. Crop must be harvested by hand

The crop must be harvested by hand is not the condition required. The government does not need organic food to be picked physically, but the government does need that: contains 95% organic ingredients; animals must be there. Food products branded as organic are full-grown and treated without the use of any artificial chemicals, artificial fertilizers, or even pesticides.
