The development of the USDA National Organic Standard in place of differing
state/regional standards was widely predicted to acceleratetrends of increasing consolidation in this sector. The first draft of the standard was
released in 1997; what changes in ownership and control
have since occurred?
For an article providing more detail on these graphics see:
Howard, Philip H. 2009. Consolidation in the North American Organic Food Processing Sector,
1997 to 2007. International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food 16(1), 13-30. [online]
Most acquisitions of organic processors occurred between December, 1997 when the draft USDA

standard was released,
and its full implementation in October, 2002. Few companies identify these ownership ties on
product labels.
Cargill's strategic alliances with French Meadow and Hain Celestial are to develop products with
nutritionally enhanced organic ingredients
such as phytosterols, soy isoflavones, trehalose, inulin, and chondroitin. Heinz acquired a19.5% stake in Hain Celestial in 1999 while
also transferring ownership of their Earth's Best brand, but sold all of its Hain Celestial stock in
2005.
