To Victor, the word organic doesn't just mean that a product is grown without the use of chemicals. It means meeting a strict set of guidelines set by not only the USDA but also Victor Packing standards.

Our raisins are produced differently than ordinary non-organic raisins. For instance, Victor Guaranteed Raisins are grown in soil that has been chemical-free for at least 3 years prior to crop harvest. We fertilize with only composted organic materials and green manures, instead of synthetic chemical fertilizers. Weeds are controlled by hand or mechanical methods and insects are controlled by the use of predatory insects instead of chemical insecticides. And we sun-dry our grapes... in the field.

Complete Multi-Residue Analysis
Victor Packing doesn't believe in doing anything half-way. That's why our Multi-Residue Analysis (MRA) program is among the industry's most extensive. It starts with our laboratory equipment. The equipment used by most organic food processors can only detect chemical residues above 0.2 to 0.3 parts per million. That means they can't distinguish the residues of such common chemicals as Bayleton and Roundup, which by California Organic Food law must have residue levels no higher than 0.1 and 0.2, respectively. Our equipment at the National Food Lab can find minimum detectable levels as low as 0.05 parts per million! That means you can trust the quality of Victor Guaranteed Organic raisins...and so will your customers!

Victor Guaranteed Organic raisins are grown as naturally and chemically-free as possible. We exceed the industry's most strict quality guidelines and constantly strive to set new standards.
