Does non-GMO mean GMO-free?
Like other non-GMO verification programs, non-GMO does not mean GMO-free. The phrase “non-GMO” on certified organic products means that, as required by organic standards, the product was produced without the use of GMOs.
I am a contact for multiple operations. How do I access information for each operation?
Log in to MyCCOF and go to ‘Choose another account’ The ‘Companies’ list will show all operations that you are currently a contact for. To access the information for a specific account, click on the name or the client ID of the operation.
You will be brought to the home screen for the operation selected and will have access to all information connected to that specific operation.
How do I submit a request to update my profile (add acreage, add product, OSP updates, etc.)?
Please submit all required documents via email to inbox@ccof.org, fax to (831) 423-4528, or by mail to the CCOF home address. For processors and Handlers, use the Handler OSP Update Guide to ensure you submit all forms.

Organic Marketing 101: A Guide for Getting Your Products to Market
Many different market channels exist for your organic product but not all channels will align with your goals, values, product line, and personality.

This tool will help you select the perfect channel for your business, with an emphasis on finding the right avenue for your end consumers.
Product Application
Describe your finished organic products and the location where products are processed. Attach labels and co-packer certificates to this form. When you add a new product, submit a new Product Application, along with the H2.0B (for multi-ingredient products) and submit all labels. For additional information about adding a new product, read the related FAQ.
Does CCOF Perform Pesticide Residue and GMO Testing?
Yes. The Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 requires certification agencies to perform residue testing of organic product. Such testing acts as a deterrent to fraud and helps to prove to organic customers that the standards are upheld and that organic really does mean something. CCOF is granted the authority to collect samples for testing by the National Organic Program regulations section 205.670. Refusing to allow the inspector to take samples for testing may result in adverse action against your certification with CCOF.
Can I use CCOF’s "Non-GMO & More" seal?
If you are certified by CCOF, you can use the “Non-GMO & More” seal.
If used on the same panel with the USDA seal, the USDA seal must appear more prominent. When the horizontal version of the "Non-GMO & More" seal is used, prominence is measured by height, and if the vertical version is used, prominence is measured by width. For additional labeling help visit our Labeling and Logos page.
Does use of CCOF’s "Organic is Non-GMO & More" Seal cost more money?
No! Use of this optional seal is included with the standard cost of organic certification.
Can I get my commercial kitchen certified for others to use for organic production?
No, it doesn't help others and isn't required in order for someone else to make organic products in your commercial kitchen. Shared kitchens cannot be certified separately from the product produced in them. Facilities, including shared kitchens, are part of the process of making the products, so the people who use your kitchen must include the kitchen as the production facility in their own certification application, as if it were their own factory.
