How products are reviewed

OMRI reviews applications from input suppliers for products in crops, livestock, and processing.  To assess compliance with the National Organic Program Rule, OMRI requires product applications to contain all the relevant public and proprietary information regarding product ingredients, formulations, and manufacturing processes.  OMRI operates under a rigorous confidentiality policy to guard against disclosure of proprietary product information to unauthorized individuals.

As a nonprofit organization, OMRI is able to offer an independent, third-party review of products that can balance the need for confidentiality in reviewing proprietary formulations with the necessity to ensure that products comply with the National Organic Program Rule.

The review process consists of two steps: review and recommendation by OMRI staff and decision-making by an independent Review Panel.  All products are reviewed according to published policies and standards.  Learn more about the OMRI Review Program.
