Are AIM Products Organic?

AIM offices around the world are often asked whether products from The AIM Companies are organic.

The short answer is that AIM products are grown using organic standards.

For example, barley grass crops are cultivated without the use of pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. Organic farming practices such as crop rotation are also used. In addition, some ingredients in AIM products are certified organic, including the seed oils found in AIMega.

AIM has chosen not to pursue organic certification because certification would significantly increase product costs. More importantly, organic certification does not always reflect the level of testing performed on finished products.

Agricultural research has shown that organic certification does not require routine testing for pesticide or herbicide residues.

Once a field is certified organic, products produced from it are not necessarily tested to the same standard that The AIM Companies applies to its products.

AIM performs extensive quality testing, including screening for the absence of more than three hundred pesticides, herbicides, and chemical residues.

Additional testing includes microbiological safety, heavy metals, and multiple nutritional markers.

AIM also verifies the absence of residual cleaning solvents across more than twenty five different solvent classes.

These practices help ensure consistent quality and safety for AIM Members.
