Can organic products/ingredients be sold under a normal label?


For instance, we all know that you cannot label something as "organic" without it being certified. My question is this...can a product have a normal line and an organic line that both conisist of organic ingredients? More specifically, can normal PAM contain organic ingredients without being labeled as organic? The purpose of doing so would be to steer customers towards the SAME product that has the organic label for a few more dollars.

yes, but with most things... there is an added expense to "organics" when dealing with things such as vegetables so it would be a cost disaster unless it was the same price as other sources.

Yes, a "normal" product line can contain organic products. However, it is highly unlikely to happen, as certified-organic produce (ingredients) cost significantly more than non-organic, so there is no social or economic reason for a manufacturer to use a higher-grade, more-expensive organic ingredient without making a huge fanfare about it. Plain and simple, you pay more for organic products because organics cost more to grow, cost more to ship (and are subject to more waste in shipping), and cost more to process (as they cannot be processed with non-organic products). Non-certified organic ingredients that are grown organically, or "naturally," are called that, 'natural.'

And, as for PAM as your example, there is nothing 'natural' in there to begin with.
