Yes, all sweet potatoes used in our jerky come from certified organic farms in the state of North Carolina. To the best of our knowledge this is the first jerky that uses certified organic sweet potatoes.The facility where the organic sweet potatoes are cut and dehydrated does not currently have an organic certification, which prevents us from using the USDA-certified organic logo. Organic ingredients are still rare in the pet nutrition industry and we hope that Petaluma can create more demand for organic farming practices and create financial incentives for processing facilities to seek certified organic status.
