NOSB Spring 2026 Proposals
Summary
The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service has published the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) Spring 2026 meeting proposals for public consultation. NOSB makes recommendations on substances for use in organic production, handling, and labeling. This package includes proposed rulemaking on allowances for various agricultural inputs, processed product standards, and annotation changes to the National List of Allowed Substances.
What changed
The NOSB has released its Spring 2026 meeting proposals covering multiple topics including: (1) sunset reviews and re-listing decisions for substances currently on the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances, (2) new petitions requesting addition or removal of materials from the list, (3) policy guidance on organic production and handling practices, and (4) recommendations on inert ingredient formulations.
Entities involved in organic production and certification should review the proposals to understand which materials or practices may be affected. Comments from stakeholders including organic producers, handlers, and certifiers are requested by the specified deadline. Failure to participate in the comment process may result in missing opportunities to influence final recommendations that affect organic certification eligibility.
