From my review of the labeling criteria for "Organic" the most stringent standards come from:

The Oregon Tilth (http://www.tilth.org/certification) and the California Certified Organic Farmers (http://www.ccof.org/certification.php)

The QAI, my opinion, was co-opted by large industry as an attempt to water down certification criteria and offer a low cost (bought and paid for) and deceptive entry into the organic market.

My opinion...If you want to buy organic, buy CCOF or Oregon Tilth certifed products...AVOID QAI.

Haps.
