Currently, no standards exist for this claim except when used on meat and poultry products. There is no organization behind the claim other than the company manufacturing or marketing the product, and there is no third-party certifier. Hope that helps answer your question. Tammy,

It is my understanding that it means nothing really, and lots of people think they are buying organic when they see All-Natural on the box. However, All-Natural can still contain High Fructose Corn Syrup and some preservatives, although it has been minimally processed. Do you know if all of that is true? (Oh Green Guru, you!) Thanks, Tammy Deanna,
