With the implementation of the USDA NOP’s Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE) rule on March 19, 2024 many operators have been asking for clarification on the new rules found regarding Non-Retail Container Labeling.

To assist our clients in navigating these new rules we have prepared a Guide to Non-Retail Container Labeling (Doc #9.6.1.3).

This guide provides background on the rules themselves and how they affect both NOP and COR certified operators.  Please review the guide carefully and consider how this will affect your Organic System Plan (OSP).

Our team is happy to assist in answering any questions.  You may reach out to your designated Certification Specialist or email info@pro-cert.org.  Please be mindful that as we approach March 19, our team will be very active in addressing the implementation of SOE, and will be prioritizing those inquiries which need immediate response.
