Wal-Mart and Organic Fraud

[Gina]

Apparently, Wal-Mart has been labeling products as organic when it actually isn't organic.

And here is more info.

(I'm placing this here instead of the food section because Wal-Mart also sells organic clothing.)

Thank you for posting this information Gina. I would never buy anything label organic from Wal-Mart-not even the produce.

I do buy my soymilk there, unsweetened Silk, as it is $1 less per carton than any other store.

I've never really purchased food from Wal-Mart, even before I started eating organic food. The quality always seemed questionable. But, Silk is Silk at any store.

And with the whole organic thing, I think they're just making money off of what they see as a trend. I don't think Wal-Mart actually knows the difference between natural and organic.

I wouldn't trust that the items marked 'organic' are actually organic. I have no problem purchasing things for my husband. He dose not eat organically. I would not buy meat or produce there, but canned goods is the same anywhere you shop.

Their prices on cleaning and paper produts is excellent
