HR 7406 United States House · 119th Congress

Meeting Demand for Organic Produce Act

This bill amends the Organic Foods Production Act to require organic producers to confirm that soil or growing media contains no synthetic chemicals before planting. It directly affects organic farmers and wild crop harvesters by mandating pre-plant testing for prohibited substances, adding a new certification requirement for soil verification. Key provisions include inserting language requiring testing verification methods and directing the Secretary to develop guidelines within 60 days of enactment. The bill focuses on tightening certification standards for organic production, not increasing supply or demand.
