Section 5 establishes that no person shall market a farm product or multi-ingredient product as “organic”, “organically grown”, “organically produced” or “organically raised”, or using similar words, including abbreviations of, symbols for and phonetic renderings of those words, unless the product meets the requirements for the Organic Grade.
