Wendy Johnson, director of safety and corporate compliance at Nelson-Jameson, played a crucial role in ensuring her company complied with the new Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE) regulations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Initially, Johnson believed that Nelson-Jameson would be exempt from these requirements, acting as a distribution entity, not a processor. However, after consulting with other experts, she recognized the necessity for certification under the new rules. Emphasizing the importance of this compliance, Johnson notes that the SOE rule aims to enhance traceability and reduce fraud in the organic supply chain, thereby bolstering organic integrity across the entire industry.
Johnson’s efforts underscore the importance of vigilance and adaptability among businesses to maintain compliance and uphold the integrity of the organic market.
