What must a retailer who processes organic products do?

A retailer processing organic products is required to register with a certifying agent to ensure their compliance with organic standards. This registration process typically involves providing detailed information about the organic products being sold, the sources of these products, and how they are handled and stored. Registering helps ensure that the retailer is held accountable to maintain the integrity of organic labeling and practices, which are crucial for consumer trust and compliance with regulations that govern organic farming and handling.

The other options, while potentially important for various business operations, are not specifically mandated in the same way as registration is for retailers dealing with organic products. For example, maintaining a record of sales may be a best practice for managing finances, and receiving training could enhance staff knowledge, but they do not have the same regulatory requirement as registering with a certifying body. Regular site visits could be relevant to inspections for compliance with organic standards, but again, it’s the registration that establishes the initial and ongoing responsibility to maintain those standards.
