I agree with your interpretation Beth. USDA's intent here is transparent.
They are attempting to prevent any labeling which informs the consumer,
"ironically grown" included. READ SECTION 205.103! It prohibits any
labeling that IMPLIES organic, much less any labeling that includes
"organic". IT IS AN OUTRAGE!!!
