Fake organic produce concern

MANY products sold in Australia as "organic" may soon not qualify to go under that label.

Discussions are almost complete on a national organic standard, but negotiations have split the industry as opposing groups argue over whether products from animals fed synthetic foodstuff should be labeled organic.
