Are organic products still an upward trend?
I am a student doing a marketing project.
I have a product that I want to sell. It is a granola product.
I want to know if people are more likely to buy organic products.
Not in the regular markets.
Many farmer’s markets do sell them, but as they are no healthier than regular foods and are so over priced there is only a niche market for them.
What Makes Organic Products so Appealing to the General Public?
More people are turning to natural methods of eating, drinking, and living because of a number of reasons. Whether it’s because it’s becoming the latest trend or whether these products are genuinely better than those that are not organic, that’s a matter that’s still up for debate. But what is known is that organic skin care products are flooding the market and that more people than ever are beginning to trust their skin to nature. Should you?

Demand for Organic Products Amongst Pet Owners Increases in Wake of Peanut Butter Recall
Are dogs and cats immune to salmonella contamination? The answer is no! Your family pets are just as susceptible to contracting salmonellosis as human beings. Pets can also be carriers of salmonella increasing the risk of cross contamination between pets and human beings. In the light of the recent peanut butter product recall, companies that offer organic pet products and have GMP-certified manufacturing units are finding themselves in higher demand.
The recent scandal and scare of contaminated peanut butter products have driven consumers to think twice about the products they purchase and the manufacturing practices employed by companies. Can they be trusted? How can a consumer ensure that the product purchased is safe for consumption for the entire family, including the family pet? Many consumers now feel safer choosing products that are organic-certified and are produced by a GMP-certified company. This ensures high standards of quality control and quality assurance.
According to the US Food and Drug Administration, the recent salmonella contamination originated from a plant in Georgia that produces peanut products in mass production to sell in bulk to various distributors. As a result, more than hundreds of companies have recalled their products from the shelves. The FDA reported that the Georgia-based manufacturing plant was “not compliant with current good manufacturing practices required by the FDA”. They also reported lack of quality control measures in cleaning procedures and failure on the company’s part to take action for mitigating contamination in their facility.
The contamination has led to serious cases of salmonella infections. All-out efforts are being taken to contain the infection by public awareness and recalling products that can trace their peanut-related ingredient to the Georgia-based plant in question. A number of Pet products containing peanut paste from this plant have also been recalled.
Organic Pet Products—A Quality Choice
With a broad spectrum of choices for organic pet products, more consumers are turning to organic pet products which, they feel, can be fully trusted for safety and health.
A broad category of organic pet products include:
- Organic Dog Food / Cat Food
- Organic Pet Treats
- Grain-Free Pet Foods
- Dry Pet Foods
- Canned Pet Foods
- Low Fat Pet Foods
- Senior Pet Foods
- Puppy Treats
- Organic Gourmet Foods
- Organic Grooming and Hygiene for Pets
- Organic Pet Flea Treatments…
- … and more!
There’s an endless variety of options for organic pet products. The trend towards organic products, even in organic pet foods is continually on the rise.
Premium Organic Pet Product Manufacturing
If you are pet product manufacturer using a contract manufacturer to produce your products, the recent peanut butter product recall should raise a red flag. Is your contract manufacturer following strict GMPs? Are raw materials being inspected for quality before being taken into the facility for production? Are there quality control measures in place in every stage of production? No one wants a lawsuit to deal with and the price to pay is irrecoverable in terms of loss of reputation and other legal hassles.
If you find manufacturing facilities questionable, you may want to consider shifting your business to an organic, GMP-certified contract manufacturer for your pet product manufacturing. Placing your manufacturing needs with a GMP-certified contract manufacturer leaves you free to focus on expanding and enhancing your business.
Rising Demand for Organic Pet Products
Organic pet products have shown a steady rise in demand over the last decade.
According to Global Industry Analysts, Inc. the attitudes of pet owners are changing. A growing number of pet owners consider their household pets as a part of the family and entitled to equal benefits with other members of the family. More pet owners are concerned with health and nutrition for their pets. This has led to the pet food sector being the fastest rising in the food industry. Pet owners are looking specifically for preservative-free organic, natural products that offer high quality nutrition and health for their pets.
More consumers realize they have more control over health and nutrition issues for their pets by choosing products that are organic and produced by a reliable company. Good health and nutrition are worth the price.

What Organic facial products work for you?
I’m looking for facial products and prefer organic or all natural. I am particularly looking for cleanser, exfoliant and wrinkle cream. Please let me know if you have experience with anything that you are happy with, and if you can leave me a web site link. Thanks 
(I am posting this same question in two sections, just in case you see it more than once).
Cleanser:
Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash. Makes my face feel really clean but not dry. Contains tea tree oil for cleansing.
Exfoliate:
I usually try at home remedies for this, such as corn meal and sugar mixed with honey or olive oil. You can find tons of recipes online for homemade organic scrubs.
Cream:
I use organic coconut oil as my moisturizer. It’s nature’s gift to skin. Coconut oil softens the skin, protects it against damage, promotes healing and gives it a more youthful, healthy appearance. It can help to keep the skin from developing liver spots, and other blemishes caused by aging and over exposure to sunlight. It helps to keep connective tissues strong and supple so that the skin doesn’t sag and wrinkle.

Vegan using organic products?
For hair and make up I use organic products rather than vegan. I am already a vegetarian and planning to go vegan but I was wondering if using organic products is considered "non vegan"?
As long as they are not tested on animals or have animal ingredients, they are fine.
What’s your fave organic bath products company?
What are some good ones? Hopefully organic. So far I really like california baby, badger balm, and indigo wild. I want to find green bath products that I can find in common stores. Also, what is your opinion on lush bath products?
Lush cosmetics is a bit expensive, but worth every penny!
The bubble bars last a long time if you have jets in your tub. just use a quarter of one and puff them up with the jets for 4-5 minutes! i love big blue bath bomb! the seaweed is so detoxifying!
Lush is such a good store as far as enviroment is concerned. They barley use packaging, and most products are vegan. If you use a solid shampoo bar it lasts longer then a bottle of shampoo and is better for the enviroment. and even if you do buy the shampoo there you can bring it back for recycling!
Yay lush! =]
I am searching the market for the sale of organic products such as Apple,Pear,Marigold flowers. Help me.?
I am an orchardist growing organic products ( without using chemicals & pesticides) the product is certified from "INDOCERT"(A reputed certifying agency) I am searching the persons who are actually serious regarding thier health. This is the bad luck of India that there is a very tough compitition between good looking products and others.Actually the compitition should be between good health & others. There is a need of revolution to kill these chemical products & pesticides which are distirbing our environment.
This is not an advertisment but of course,I want to ask the people why they are using the products which are treated by chemicals & protected by pesticides.
A chemical treated product can be a good looking but it is not good for your health. Some farmers use chemicals or pesticides today and serve it you tomorrowwhich is going directly to your body.
CHOICE IS YOURS BECAUSE BODY IS ALSO YOURS.
Renate is right, Arun. Education is a big factor. Another important one is, of course, the cost. Organically grown products are still significantly more expensive than conventional ones, partly because many of the latter get subsidized. Of course only some of just can claim we really cannot afford the extra cost to spare our health. But consider the average american diet, and you will see that health isn’t considered as much a priority as it should. The third factor is culture, which can influence people’s decisions of what to eat. It is a lot easier to keep yourself healthy and health-conscious if you are surrounded by people that are doing the same. The opposite is also true, unfortunately. I hope that gives you some insight.
