The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has recently established new standards for organically grown foods to clarify any confusion.美国农业部（ USDA ）最近设立新的标准，有机肥种植的食物，以澄清任何混淆。 The new rules define how and when products and marketing materials may bear the term “organic” or the new USDA “Organic” seal.新的规则确定如何以及何时的产品和营销材料可能承担的“有机”或新的农业部“有机”印章。

The rules state that:该规则规定：

The USDA has stated that the new USDA Organic seal on packages is simply a marketing standard and not a stamp of approval.美国农业部指出，新的美国农业部有机包装上印刷只是一个营销的标准，而不是一种邮票的批准。 Still, many believe that the USDA Organic stamp will be perceived as an endorsement or a mark of quality.尽管如此，许多人认为美国农业部有机邮票将被视为认可或标志的质量。
