Is there a difference in marketing something as all natural vs. organic?

I know that being organic entails that no pesticides or chemicals were used during any process of development ,but what does "all natural" imply?

Natural - a statement most often used by producers who are producing something using only natural methods/ingredient.

Organic - Can only be used by producers who are registered & certified with governing organic bodies ie soil association, and abide by the code of organics for that governing body.

Natural means no artificial ingredients. For example, fruits and vegetables are natural, whether organic or not.

All natural could mean anything really.

There is a shampoo in Australia called 鈥淥rganics鈥? The only organic and natural thing about it is the wording on the bottle; the main ingredients are basically toxic chemicals.

You can write what you like on the packaging, really the words 鈥渘atural鈥?and 鈥渙rganic鈥?mean nothing, they are used by unscrupulous businesses to suck you in to buy their products.

If something is certified organic by a governing body, it means it is really organic. So always look out for certified products.

Some organic products may be in conversion but it will always tell you this on the packet.

Also learn to read labels (i.e.) a packet of biscuits may proclaim to use natural flavourings but they also have a high percentage of artificial sugars 鈥?which hardly renders it natural.

Because of the current craze/fad over anything labeled "all natural" or "organic", both are currently being used by unscrupulous companies as an effective marketing gimmick to sell some otherwise inferior products.

Organic means no artificial pesticides and fertilisers were used while all natural means no preservatives or flavor/color enhancers were used. Keep in mind that both labels speak nothing of actual quality though all natural may imply it. But sugar, salt and MSG are also "all natural" ingredients since they exist in plant and animal matter. So the label "all natural" ingredients" can be misleading. Organic again does not speak of quality though it is also implied. But organic fertiliser such as manure from cattle farms and from animal sources are also used.

All natural means there aren't any chemicals added to alter the taste or anything like that.
