Richmond-based Nature’s Path Foods, a leading organic breakfast company in North America, has recently announced its resignation from the Organic Trade Association (OTA), citing concerns that “the association is moving towards a non-organic agenda and away from its commitment to supporting the organic food movement.”

According to Nature’s Path, a couple of recent actions taken by the OTA have driven this decision, including supporting a “vague and misleading” national genetically modified organism (GMO) labelling law in the U.S., and allowing hydroponics to fall under the organic certification label, which the company believes has no organic agriculture or soil present.
