How we counted

Every record in the dataset (every organic operation, certified or surrendered, suspended or revoked (kept so a lost certification shows as a change), in the United States with a handling scope whose certifier lists it as co-packer in the latest monthly USDA Organic Integrity Database export) is counted once by its “Client packing evidence” value, which this site assigns from the certified products (verbatim), website sentence on client packing on its source record (the rule is in the field's description on the data page), as of Oct 30, 2026: 1,446 records in all. Shares are rounded to whole percents.
