Naturally Occuring Standards (NOS) Petition

Sign the NOS Petition :

The Organic Consumers Association (OCA), along with the Naturally Occuring Standards Group, is launching a new "truth in labeling" campaign that will enable consumers to distinguish between those vitamins and supplements that are truly natural or organic, and those that simply claim to be.

In a nutshell, the new Naturally Occurring Standard (NOS):

• Contains synthetic ingredients.
• Contains genetically engineered ingredients.
• Only contains ingredients found in nature.
• Only contains ingredients that are sustainably harvested and fairly-traded.
• Is organic.

In order to make clear to the $20+ billion supplements industry that consumers want truth-in-labeling for vitamins & supplements, please sign our petition.
