Organic Claims Checker for Amazon Listings

Enter the organic share of your product and the claims you want on the package and the listing. The checker applies the USDA labeling categories in 7 CFR 205.301–205.311 and tells you which claims each category allows.

How the checker decides

The USDA sorts organic products into four labeling categories by the share of organically produced ingredients, by weight or fluid volume, excluding water and salt (7 CFR 205.301). The category then decides what you may say and show:

  • 100 percent organic (100%) and organic (at least 95%) may use the USDA seal and must name the certifier on the information panel.
  • Made with organic… (at least 70%) may name up to three organic ingredients or food groups, must name the certifier, and may not use the USDA seal.
  • Under 70% may identify organic ingredients only in the ingredient statement, with no seal and no certifier mark.

Certification sits on top of the category. Unless an exemption applies, the operation that makes and labels the product must be certified for any of the first three categories (7 CFR 205.100). Exempt operations under $5,000 in annual organic sales still follow the labeling rules but may not show the USDA seal.

What the checker does not do

It does not calculate your organic percentage, review your formulation, or confirm that your certificate covers the product. Those are the checks that cause most real problems on Amazon. Pair the result with the certificate check, and read the full guide for how the rules apply to each part of an Amazon listing.

Frequently asked questions

Does water count toward the organic percentage?

No. The percentages in 7 CFR 205.301 are calculated by weight or fluid volume excluding water and salt, and water and salt cannot be labeled organic.

Can a made-with-organic product use the USDA seal?

No. 7 CFR 205.304(c) says products labeled made with organic must not display the USDA seal. The seal is limited to the 100 percent organic and organic categories.
