Organic Certification: A Modern Commitment Rooted in Tradition
For us at One Source Food Solutions, achieving organic certification is not just about meeting regulations—it’s about preserving the integrity and transparency that have been the backbone of our business since day one. The organic food market has seen remarkable growth, with sales reaching over $60 billion in the United States in 2022, a 12% increase from the previous year. Additionally, nearly 82% of U.S. households now purchase organic products, highlighting a shift toward healthier, sustainable choices.

Understanding the National Organic Program Standards
In today’s market, organic certification is more than a label—it’s a testament to a company’s adherence to stringent standards that ensure products are cultivated, processed, and handled in ways that protect consumer health and the environment. In the United States, all organic products must comply with the guidelines set forth by the National Organic Program (NOP), administered by the USDA. These standards mandate that crop farms, livestock operations, and processing facilities adhere to comprehensive requirements. For crop farms, this means managing land free from synthetic chemicals for at least three years and following an Organic System Plan that details soil management and pest control practices. For livestock, it involves ensuring animals are fed 100% organic feed and are free from antibiotics and synthetic hormones, while processing operations must prevent contamination and maintain strict handling protocols. Each of these steps is verified through regular inspections and audits, confirming that every product labeled “organic” truly meets these rigorous criteria.
Our Journey to Organic Certification
At One Source Food Solutions, we take these standards seriously because we know that the stakes are high for our partners. Our journey to organic certification is driven by the same principles that inspired us decades ago when we were learning the value of hard work and trust on the farm. We recognize that our customers rely on us not only for quality ingredients but also for the assurance that those ingredients have been sourced and handled with the utmost care. Whether it’s ensuring our tomatoes are free from prohibited substances or maintaining the highest standards in our processing facilities, every step we take is a reflection of our commitment to you.
