The tables include materials whichare considered nonsynthetic (natural), and are not required to be included on the National List.The table of materials is consistent with the National List, and does not include materials which areprohibited under the USDA organic regulations.This table of materials is not part of the National List, although it also includes materials on the NationalList. This table is not exhaustive. There may be nonsynthetic (natural) materials which are not includedin the guidance, but which meet the requirements for use in organic production and handling. Producersshould always check with their certifying agent regarding the use of any materials prior to their usage.For additional information on this document, please refer to NOP 5034.Acetic AcidNonsyntheticNonsyntheticAlcoholMade by oxidative or anaerobic fermentation.Solutions that contain less than 8% acetic acidare vinegar.
