 Can someone help answer the following for a neighbor of mine?

Is it just the USDA that allows chemical fertilizers to be used on foods with 
the designation "organic?" What about other certifying organizations (Oregon 
Tilth, Quality Assurance International, and OCIA are listed on just a few of 
the products on my shelf...)?

Thank you in advance.


-Sean.
