The National Organic Program (NOP) develops, implements, and administers national production, handling, and labeling standards for organic agricultural products. The NOP also accredits the certifying agents (foreign and domestic) who inspect organic production and handling operations to certify that they meet USDA standards.
The NOP web site is updated regularly with news reports and announcements. In addition to details with respect to amending the National List, the site includes a complete list of accredited certifiers, several of whom have searchable websites for organic ingredients.
