Once OMRI receives a completed application,
supporting materials, and fees, the staff creates a summary and
recommendation, based on the OMRI Standards Manual and OMRI Policy Manual.
The OMRI Review
Panel—a national board of experts from the organic
industry—studies the summary and recommendation and votes on a
product's
status or
requests more
information.
Products that comply are given an
"Allowed" or "Restricted" status and are added to the
OMRI
Products List. Products on the
OMRI
Products
List
may display the
OMRI Listed® Seal on their product label or advertising. Updates to
the
OMRI Products List are
then sent to subscribers and added to the web site. Updates to the OMRI
Standards Manual are compiled
here.
