This package of lettuce from the organic-signed produce section pictured above, is not “certified organic”.

At the same Tomah, WI Wal-Mart Supercenter, this soymilk product is again mislabeled as organic by Wal-Mart’s in-store signage. While it is made with some organic ingredients, the product does not carry the USDA’s certified organic label, which requires that at least 95% of the ingredients are organically grown and processed.
