Questions people ask
Is everything Under the Nile sells certified organic?
Not necessarily, and we do not claim it. Certification applies to individual products. We checked 5 Under the Nile products for this site, and 5 of them carry at least one of the certifications listed here. For anything else the brand sells, look for the seal and the certifier's name on that product's label.
How can I check a Under the Nile certification myself?
Each product below lists the pages we checked it against. For USDA Organic, search the USDA Organic Integrity Database for the company name. For GOTS, the GOTS public database lists licensed companies. Other seals are explained, with their lookup tools, on our labels pages.
