Risk-Based Oversight for Organic Food Integrity Act
This bill updates how organic farms and food handlers are inspected to better protect the 'organic' label. It focuses resources on high-risk areas while potentially reducing paperwork and costs for low-risk domestic farmers.
Key points
Mandatory annual on-site inspections for all foreign organic producers exporting to the U.S.
Flexible inspection schedules for domestic farms, allowing virtual checks between triennial on-site visits for low-risk operations.
Authorization of virtual inspection methods for brokers and handlers who do not physically touch the organic products.
A new study to identify ways to reduce administrative burdens for farmers with a strong history of compliance.
