Question

Which agency would certify that a package of potato chips labeled "organic," is in fact organic?

A. FDA
B. FSIS
C. USDA
D. USDC

Answer 1

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is the agency that certifies food products as "organic," not the FDA, FSIS, or USDC.

Step-by-step explanation:

The agency responsible for certifying that a package of potato chips is labeled "organic" is the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The USDA has a set of standards and practices that must be met by farmers and producers to legally use the organic label. This includes restrictions on the use of synthetic chemicals, fertilizers, and requirements for organic feed for livestock. The USDA's National Organic Program is the specific body that oversees organic certification and ensures compliance with all organic standards. While the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) works closely with the USDA and other federal agencies, it is not directly responsible for organic certification.
