"CONSUMERS UNION EVALUATION:

The Food Alliance label is a highly meaningful label. The FA label has five main standard areas. The pest management and soil/water conservation guidelines were developed through an outside consultant. The pest management guidelines include a list of more than a dozen prohibited pesticides. Their animal welfare guidelines are extremely comprehensive. The human resource checklist is a useful tool that incorporates some aspects of social responsibility. FA is transparent in providing its standards and organization information and has an explicit policy that does not allow members who are FA certified from serving on the board of directors. FA is therefore independent from the product that is certified for ccna security.
