Manufacturing Process
Do I need to know the manufacturing process for all of my ingredients?
If the ingredient is nonsynthetic, you will need to submit a manufacturing process for it. OMRI requires a description of the manufacturing process for every ingredient submitted as nonsynthetic in order to determine that it is nonsynthetic. Please be sure that you know the manufacturing process for an ingredient before you apply. If you can not obtain this information, OMRI and the manufacturing company may enter into a third party agreement where the manufacturer may share that information directly with OMRI.
You will not need to know the manufacturing process for any permitted synthetic ingredients or any currently OMRI Listed® products. To find out whether a synthetic substance is permitted for your product, see the Generic Materials List or the National Organic Program Rule at §205.601,§205.603, or §205.605(b) within the OMRI Policy and Standards Manual.
