GUIDELINES FOR LABELING WINE AS “100% ORGANIC”

This document contains a sample label. It should be used as guidance relating to the National Organic Program (NOP) regulations at 7 CFR part 205. To view these regulations in their entirety, please 

visit the United States Department of Agriculture's website at www.ams.usda.gov/nop. This sample complies with the Federal Alcohol Administration Act, the Alcohol Beverage Labeling Act and the NOP.

When labeling your product as “100% Organic,” it must contain 100 percent organically produced ingredients and have been processed using organically produced 

processing aids, not counting added water and salt. You should also consider the following points in designing your label:

BRAND NAME/CLASS & TYPE (OPTIONAL)

The phrase “100% Organic” may be used to 

modify the brand name and/or class and type 

statement on the PDP, IP, or OP.

SULFITE STATEMENT

“100% Organic” products cannot use added 

sulfites in production. Therefore, since no 

added sulfites are present in the finished 

product, the label may not require a sulfite 

statement. In these cases, a lab analysis is 

necessary to verify that the wine contains less 

than 10 ppm of sulfites. 

INGREDIENT STATEMENT (OPTIONAL)

Products certified as “100% Organic” may show 

a complete ingredient statement. The term 

“organic” may be used to identify the specific 

ingredients. Water and salt included as 

ingredients may not be identified as “organic.” 

This statement may only appear on the IP.

CERTIFICATION STATEMENT (REQUIRED)

“Certified Organic by ---” or a similar phrase 

must be listed below the name and address of: 

the bottler, for domestic wines; or the bottler or 

importer for imported wines. This statement 

must be on the IP and may include the agent’s 

business address, telephone number, or 

internet address.

PDP - (PRINCIPAL DISPLAY PANEL) That part of 

the label that is most likely to be displayed, 

presented, shown, or examined under customary 

conditions of display for sale.

IP - (INFORMATION PANEL) That part of the label 

of a packaged product that is immediately 

contiguous to and to the right of the principal 

display panel as observed by an individual facing 

the principal display panel, unless another section 

of the label is designated as the information panel 

because of package size or other attributes (e.g., 

irregular shape with one usable surface).

OP - (OTHER PANEL) Any panel other than the 

principal display panel, information panel, or 

ingredient statement.

IS - (INGREDIENT STATEMENT) The list of 

ingredients contained in a product shown in their 

common and usual names in the descending order 

of predominance.

GUIDELINES FOR LABELING WINE AS “ORGANIC”

This document contains a sample label. It should be used as guidance relating to the National Organic Program (NOP) regulations at 7 CFR part 205. To view these regulations in their entirety, please visit 

the United States Department of Agriculture's website at www.ams.usda.gov/nop. This sample complies with the Federal Alcohol Administration Act, the Alcohol Beverage Labeling Act and the NOP.

When labeling your product as “Organic,” it must contain at least 95 percent organically produced ingredients, not counting added water and salt. In addition, your product 

must not contain added sulfites and may contain up to 5 percent non-organically produced agricultural ingredients allowed by 7 CFR 205.606 (provided your accredited 

certifying agent has determined the ingredients to be not commercially available in organic form), and/or other substances allowed by 7 CFR 205.605. You should also 

consider the following points in designing your label: 

BRAND NAME/CLASS & TYPE (OPTIONAL)

The term “Organic” may be used to modify the 

brand name and/or class and type statement on the 

PDP, IP, or OP.

SULFITE STATEMENT

“Organic” products cannot use added sulfites in 

production. Therefore, since no added sulfites are 

present in the finished product, the label may not 

require a sulfite statement. In these cases, a lab 

analysis is necessary to verify that the wine 

contains less than 10 ppm of sulfites.

PERCENTAGE STATEMENT (OPTIONAL)

The phrase “X% Organic” or “X% Organic 

ingredients” may be included on the labeling. Such 

statements may appear on the PDP, IP or OP.

INGREDIENT STATEMENT (OPTIONAL)

Products certified as “organic” may show a 

complete ingredient statement. The term “organic” 

may be used to identify the specific ingredients. 

Water and salt included as ingredients may not be 

identified as “organic.” This statement may only 

appear on the IP.

CERTIFICATION STATEMENT (REQUIRED)

“Certified Organic by ---” or a similar phrase must 

be listed below the name and address of: the 

bottler, for domestic wines; or the bottler or importer 

for imported wines. This statement must be on the 

IP and may include the agent’s business address, 

telephone number, or internet address.

CERTIFYING AGENT SEAL (OPTIONAL)

The seal of a USDA-accredited certifying agent may be placed 

on the label of a product that is certified as “organic.” This seal 

may appear on the PDP, IP or OP.

USDA ORGANIC SEAL (OPTIONAL)
