CDFA Issues Immediate STOP USE Notice for AGRO Gold WS

Agro Gold WS was found adulterated with glyphosate and diquat and CDFA has issued a stop order for use on organic farms in the state of California. 

The product AGRO GOLD WS is labeled and registered as an organic fertilizing material, but has been found to contain both Diquat and Glyphosate. Sale and use of this product thus poses a public health risk because the product was found to contain herbicides not disclosed on its label.

California operations must IMMEDIATELY discontinue the use of Agro Gold WS on land registered as organic. Continued use of this product in organic production may jeopardize the organic status of your operation. Registered organic operations in possession of AGRO GOLD WS must hold the product and contact the Fertilizing Materials Inspection Program at FMIP@cdfa.ca.gov. CDFA will aid operations on how to handle product in their possession.
