Organic USDA vs WSDA?!
My question:
What is the differences between
USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) vs WSDA (Washington State Department of Agriculture) certification on food?
Which is better in terms of regulation?

Answers:
The two are basically one in the same because the WSDA is a USDA Accredited Organic Certifying Agent.
The WSDA Organic Food Program protects consumers and supports the organic food industry by ensuring the integrity of organic food products through USDA Organic standards and certifying organic producers, processors, and handlers.
The WSDA Rules and Regulations are identical to the USDA National Organic Standards and Recognized as Equivalent.
