Earthbound Farms responds to non-organic fertilizer news

A few weeks ago, we reported that one of the fertilizer suppliers to Earthbound Organic Farms (among others) wasn't actually using organic ingredients. In fact, they were using ammonium sulfate. So really, even though the farms (and Earthbound Organic) were doing everything they should have to make sure that their food was truly organic, by definition, the food wasn't truly and completely organic.

In response to our article, Earthbound Organic Farms contacted us and offered up their side of the story. Here is an interview with Samantha Cabaluna, Director of Communications for Earthbound Organic Farms. I'll have more with Samantha next week when I ask her some questions surrounding big organic in general.
