You might want to check your facts there. The term "Organic" in the United States is regulated by the USDA.
GMO are prohibited under the National Organic Plan:
Excluded methods. A variety of methods used to genetically modify organisms or influence their growth and development by means that are not possible under natural conditions or processes and are not considered compatible with organic production. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macroencapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology). Such methods do not include the use of traditional breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture.

Personally, I do not trust anything the federal govt. or any dept. in the federal govt. tells me. They have proven, to me, beyond any doubt that so many lies have been told to us already.
