National Organic Program closes complaint against Aurora Organic Dairy
Allegations that 'milk may not be organic' are proved incorrect.
The USDA's National Organic Program (NOP), the nation's authority for properly certified organic food production, today officially closed a May 2, 2017, complaint against Aurora Organic Dairy's (AOD) High Plains Dairy in Gill, Colo., finding the company in full compliance with the access to pasture and grazing regulations required in organic dairy production, Boulder, Colo.-based AOD said.
"The NOP confirmed what we have known all along: that Aurora Organic Dairy is a 100% organic company,” said Marc Peperzak, founder and CEO. “Their investigation included a thorough review of our facilities, our grazing practices and the records we maintain to document compliance with the organic rule. We've confronted false criticism with facts by fully and transparently cooperating with this enforcement process, and this outcome clearly validates our organic certifications."
