Yeah, I'm really big on researching the companies I buy food from, both the store/market and the producers and processors. It's hard to find information on any of them, though I've had pretty good luck looking online for warnings. And the label organic? Pfft. Since they recently passed the change that put it back in the direct hands of the FDA, I don't put much stock in it now. At least they tried for some accountability before. But with an administration that thinks mercury, lead and arsenic are a-ok for drinking water, I expect that list of 40ish ingredients (things that are not grown and therefore cannot possibly be "organic", like baking soda and carbon dioxide) you can use and still call it organic to become a list of 40,000ish pretty soon.
That said, organics are still held to a slightly higher standard in growth than non-organics. Pesticides, for example, are more limited. I think it's more a matter of learning what companies are really trying to be organic and which are trying to use it for marketing.
