I think corn-based products are not allowed for organic production unless the corn is organic. I have no idea what else might be in the stuff, though.

This product was originally developed right here in Peoria, IL at the USDA

if I'd trust what Pampers may have added to it. I do know some wholesale
nurseries use it as a slurry to dip roots into as they plant; but I've
never seen efficacy studies.

Fedco says it's "not allowed" for organic production. So there's probably something in it besides corn; though it may not be anything that's a problem for any reasons other than organic certification procedures. I believe that some things wound up "not allowed" just because the producer didn't want to go through the USDA process.
