Home Pesticide Manufacturer Misrepresenting Products as Certified “Organic”
The Cornucopia Institute has filed legal complaints with the USDA alleging that Wal-Mart, and a North Carolina-based company, HOMS LLC, are violating the USDA organic standards by using conventional agricultural oils, and other ingredients, in pest control products that bear the word organic and the green “USDA organic” seal.
The pest control products in question are marketed under the Bio Block label (see front of bottle, back of bottle, and company webpage product screenshot).
