Back to browse back issues by subject

NBJ definition of natural foods are foods that focus on the health benefits of foods derived from natural sources and that are, to varying degrees, free of pesticides, additives, preservatives and refined ingredients. Organic foods, sometimes "certified organic," are not only free of chemicals, pesticides, hormones and antibiotics, but go beyond the human health consequences of conventional farming and food manufacturing to embrace principles of sustainable farm management, humane treatment of animals and the social impacts of food production.
