I can tell you are upset, but I don't understand why. You can claim
that "organic" food is safer than conventional food, and many people
will believe you. The government is not going to prevent you from doing
that. They are just planning to certify that things labeled as
"organic" really are "organic". Whether or not they are safer is a
separate issue.

The best way to do that is to keep certification simple. Dragging food
safety into this is too murky an issue, and very prone to political
manipulation.
