Do you consider espoma garden tone to be organic

I was at lowes today and I saw some of the espoma products which all claim to be organic.
Then I looked on the net and you see claims it's not organic or it contains arsenic compounds and etc. since this is strictly an organic forum I figured you would know otherwise

I did some research. The tomato tone is not OMRI listed so officially is not sanctioned as organic.

However, the Baystate Organic Certifiers Certification Program in 2011 said that while the epsoma products were not OMRI listed they were compliant with the National Organic Standards and allowed to be used on organic farms in their area.

The ingredients listed are ingredients that are allowed in organic farming, but has no national certification from OMRI, so its official acceptance would probably depend on local rules.
