AI SummaryVerified

This law tells the director to make and enforce rules about how animal feed is made, sold, and labeled when it’s used to produce organic food, and those rules must match the organic standards.

Key Takeaways

•The director must create rules for making, distributing, and labeling feed used in organic food production.
•Those rules have to line up with the existing organic standards in Article 7.
•The rules apply to any feed that ends up in food sold as organic.

Example

A farmer raises chickens for organic eggs and buys chicken feed that says it’s organic.

The director’s rules require that the feed be produced without prohibited chemicals and be clearly labeled as organic. If the farmer used regular feed instead, they would be breaking the rule.
