Does my product qualify for an OMRI Listed seal?
If your exact product name and company name appear in the current OMRI Products List© and/or OMRI Canada Products List©, that product is eligible to bear the OMRI Listed seal. The exact product name and company name must appear somewhere on the product’s packaging.
YES! The product name and company name exactly match the OMRI Products List.
NO! The company name is missing from the packaging. (It can appear on the back.)
NO! The product name does not match the OMRI Products List.
Where on my packaging should the Seal appear?
It’s up to you where the Seal will appear on your packaging. Just be sure that it’s readable and has breathing room in relation to the other visual elements on the packaging.
Can I alter the Seal to look better on my packaging?
OMRI provides several color options to ensure the seal works with your packaging. The three permitted colors are OMRI green, white and black. Use whichever of these options is the most readable on your packaging.
OMRI green is preferred for light backgrounds.
White is not the preferred option, but it is acceptable when it is the only color that works for your label.
Black is preferred when OMRI green is not an option, such as when printing in grayscale or with backgrounds on which OMRI green might not stand out.
If your packaging has a “busy” background, try placing a solid-colored box behind the Seal.
DO NOT change the design of the Seal, such as by warping or stretching it, or altering its font.

When can I use the OMRI “Products Available” logo?
OMRI’s Products Available logo is for more general use, and can be displayed in a wide variety of marketing situations, such as:
Signs for display in stores, tradeshow booths, market stalls; vehicle wraps and billboards.
Brochures, catalogs, business cards, mailers, shopping bags and shipping materials.
What does it mean if I see the OMRI Canada or OMRI USA/Canada seal?
From 2013 to 2020, OMRI offered an OMRI Canada and an OMRI USA/Canada seal to distinguish products that were allowed under those countries’ organic standards. Those seals have been phased out and replaced with one universal OMRI Listed seal. Information about appropriate uses for each OMRI Listed product is available through the OMRI web search, the OMRI Products Lists, and on OMRI certificates.
I’ve misplaced my OMRI seal files. How can I get replacements?
