The Spring 2025 Meeting of the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) is taking place in-person from April 29 to May 1 n Tempe, AZ.
The National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) will meet to discuss substances petitioned for addition to or deletion from the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances (National List), substances due to sunset from the National List in 2027, and recommendations on organic policies.
The NOSB typically meets twice per year in various locations around the United States. Prior to meetings, the NOSB reviews written public comments and listens to oral public comments. During meetings, the NOSB discusses agenda items, and then votes on recommendations to the Secretary in a public forum.
As a service to our members, OTA’s Regulatory Team compiled a report on the meeting highlights, outcomes and next steps.
Coming Soon
The NOSB invites the public to submit written comments and/or provide oral comments at its public meetings and public comment webinars. Slots for both virtual and in-person oral comments fill quickly, and we encourage you to sign up early. OTA staff are signed up and will be providing comments. Details on how to submit written comments and to register for oral comments can be found on the NOSB Spring 2025 Meeting page.
