Organic foods are produced in a manner that limits the use of synthetic materials in production. For most of human history, agriculture can be described as organic, but only during the 20th century was a large amount of new synthetic chemicals introduced to the food supply.Processed foods usually contain organic ingredients. If non-organic ingredients are present, at least a certain percentage of the total plant on food and animal ingredients must be organic .
