Celebrating Organic Month with Sweet Additions
Why Organic Month Matters
Every September, Organic Month highlights sustainability, health, and the businesses committed to these values. Since 1985, the Organic Trade Association (OTA) has led the charge in safeguarding USDA Organic standards and fostering a network of organic advocates.
At Sweet Additions, organic principles have been at the core of our company since our founding in 2005. We’ve played an active role in transforming the perception of "natural" and "organic" from passing trends to essential benchmarks in the food industry. This Organic Month, we celebrate the progress we've made in advancing the organic ingredient sector while reaffirming our commitment to providing the highest-quality organic ingredients produced in the USA.

Why Organic Farming Matters: Environmental and Health Benefits
Organic farming brings significant advantages, both for the environment and for the health of consumers. Environmentally, organic practices protect soil health, promote biodiversity, and reduce pollution by avoiding harmful pesticides and synthetic chemicals. Organic farming also contributes to mitigating climate change by focusing on natural resource conservation.
For consumers, organic products provide peace of mind with fewer synthetic additives, allowing them to enjoy foods that are closer to their natural state. Sweet Additions offers USDA Organic-certified ingredients like AvenaSweet™ Oat Syrup, TapiSweet™ Tapioca Syrup, and RiceSweet™ Rice Syrup, ensuring that our products reflect the highest standards in organic quality and sustainability.
