Organic Imports Verification Act of 2026

This bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture to report to Congress within 180 days, and every year after that, on residue testing of imported organic animal feed shipped loose in bulk, such as in ship holds or railcars. Each report must cover how often testing happened, the methods and standards used, the results, and any actions taken. The Secretary must create risk-based rules to choose which imported organic feeds are tested each year and must keep a yearly list of them that is not made public. If a tested shipment contains a prohibited substance above the allowed level, that shipment cannot be sold, labeled, or represented as organic.
