AMS Proposes Changes to National Organic List

The Agricultural Marketing Service is proposing to make changes to its National List of substances allowed and prohibited in organic products, it said. "This rule proposes to add elemental sulfur for use as a molluscicide in organic crop production, add polyoxin D zinc salt to control fungal diseases in organic crop production, and reclassify magnesium chloride from an allowed synthetic to an allowed nonsynthetic ingredient in organic handling," the Federal Register notice said. Comments are due April 16.
