Organic Fraud Prevention Guide

Purchase the Organic Fraud Prevention Guide to help minimize or eliminate organic fraud. 

The new Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE) final rule requires organic operations to include a fraud prevention plan in their Organic System Plan that describes the monitoring practices and procedures used to prevent organic fraud and verify suppliers and organic product status. All operations must comply by March 19, 2024.

Members and non-members can purchase our Organic Fraud Prevention Guide for step-by-step guidance to develop and implement an organic fraud prevention plan as mandated by SOE. Members receive a 50% discount. The guide provides businesses engaged in organic trade with a risk-based process for developing and implementing an organic fraud prevention plan.
