Do you know how many companies use just organic, and not "usda certified organic"

Most

I like how confident you are about your answer.

However, perusing the USDA website one comes across this set of "strongly" worded guidelines:

"Can a product be labeled “organic” without being certified? If you make a product and want to claim that it or its ingredients are organic, your final product probably needs to be certified."

"If you are not certified, you must not make any organic claim on the principal display panel or use the USDA organic seal anywhere on the package. (see exemption below)"

"You may only, on the information panel, identify the certified organic ingredients as organic and the percentage of organic ingredients."

Apparently, if a company does mislabel its products, it is liable to be prosecuted by the Federal trade commission.

That word probably exists in the same article you originally linked.

But many actually don't do it which is why they don't use the USDA certified
