In the United States, the term “organic” is regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Any product claiming to be “organic” or using the USDA organic seal must comply with USDA organic regulations.

To be sold as “organic” in the U.S., agricultural products—whether raw or processed—must be certified to USDA organic regulations or an equivalent international standard. These products must:

• Be produced according to USDA organic requirements.
• Comply with organic labeling requirements.
• Identify the certifier.

Dietary supplements covered by this policy

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the manufacturing, packaging, storing, and labeling of dietary supplements under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and its subsequent amending statutes, including the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act.

The FDA defines a dietary ingredient as a vitamin, mineral, herb or other botanical, amino acid, or dietary substance for use to supplement the diet by increasing the total dietary intake, or a concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract, or combination of the preceding substances intended for human consumption. Dietary supplements come in different forms such as powders, pills, capsules, liquid drops, and oral sprays. They include but are not limited to categories such as vitamins and minerals and herbs and botanicals; and can be marketed for functions such as sexual enhancement, weight management, bodybuilding and sports nutrition.

Dietary supplements must not make disease claims or contain undeclared drug ingredients or articles that are approved as new drugs.

Food safety investigation policy

We prioritize customer safety first and foremost in our Food Safety Investigation. We do not allow Selling Partners to list products with safety issues. Selling Partners are responsible for ensuring that their products are safe and in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and standards/practices. We expect and require, as per Barnnova’s policy, that Selling Partners supply us with safe foods.

Food safety investigation

Food safety investigation is a series of activities we undertake to protect our customer safety. Such food safety investigations may arise because of an injury/illness, allergic reaction, misleading/mislabeling, product tampering, or pest infestation. In order to prevent or minimize the spread of safety risks, we may temporarily suspend your products from selling on our store during the food safety investigation.

What happens when I do not follow food safety investigation policy?

The privilege of selling products at Barnnova may be suspended, if any of the following occurs:

• We are unable to confirm food safety through the appeal/documents you have submitted.
• You have failed to submit the required documents and/or respond to the investigation questionnaire

If you list products on Barnnova, you must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, standards, and our policies related to those products and product listings.

Mad honey covered by this policy

Mad honey, also known as “deli bal” or “grayanotoxin honey,” is a type of honey that is produced by bees from the nectar of certain rhododendron and azalea flowers. Mad honey is different from normal natural or commercially available honey as it is contaminated with grayanotoxins, which leads to intoxication or poisoning upon consumption.

Our policy for mad honey

Customers have to be confident that they’ll find a selection of safe, reliable, and compliant products on Fashionbarnshop. We don’t allow the listing or sale of non-compliant or prohibited products. In the interest of safety, mad honey is prohibited.
