Single/multi Ingredient Products

Question: 

What is the difference between a single ingredient product and a multi-ingredient product?

Single ingredient products contain only one ingredient or feedstock. For example, if limestone was simply mined from the earth it would be considered single ingredient (impurities in the mined mineral would not count as a second ingredient). Water (or moisture) does not count as an ingredient while calculating the fee, but its percentage in the final product should be reported in your application. Products that consist of a single multi-ingredient product that is already OMRI Listed® are also considered to be a single ingredient. This is different from a repack as it may contain water and/or be listed in a different Use Class.

A multi-ingredient product contains two or more ingredients or feedstocks (including ingredients that are OMRI Listed). These include products that consist of previously formulated multi-ingredient products that are not already OMRI Listed. For example, a blended fertilizer with blood and bone meals that are not already OMRI Listed would be a multi-ingredient product because the product contains two separate substances. 

OMRI charges a product fee based on whether a product is single ingredient or multi-ingredient. For a full explanation of fees, please see the Review Cost page.
