Probably yes. But remember the Newman's Own brand. When the Board found
banned ingredient in the process they just gave them a friendly warning to
correct the problem and they're still on the grocery shelves. And that big
organic fertilizer company in California where they found what it containedda
wasn't organic. But a lot of organic growers depended on it, so they ruled
the growers wouldn't be decertified for all using it since it wasn't their
fault.

We're not even discussing the egg farms where they fake it & claim thousands
of organic chickens have access to outdoors & fresh air, or the continuing
problems with organic dairy. When there's a problem with a big grower or
processor just change the rules to allow it.
