Throughout 2006, the OCA has continued its Coming Clean campaign to stop unscrupulous companies from labeling their conventional or so-called natural body care products as "organic." The lack of federal organic standards for cosmetics and personal care products has resulted in rampant label fraud-- with body care sections of natural food stores filled with products mislabeled as "organic," although these products' ingredient labels typically reveal a problematic brew of conventional synthetic ingredients and preservatives.. The OCA has been working with a committee to develop a new set of labeling standards for organic body care. This has been a long and intensive process. Although the OCA is the only consumer advocate on this committee, we are optimistic that we can develop a rigorous standard that protects the interests of organic consumers and farmers. Draft text of the new standard should be available for public input in 2007. In the meantime, we continue to advise consumers to look for the "USDA Organic" label when purchasing body care products claiming to be organic. Most recently OCA has begun an education campaign for consumers to boycott body care and other products containing untested and potentially harmful nanotechnology particles.

Organic dairy farms in the U.S. and worldwide have traditionally been family-scale, pasture-based, and humanely operated. Unfortunately the booming demand for organic dairy products, coupled with a lack of support for family scale dairy farmers wishing to convert to organic, have prompted several profit hungry dairy corporations to set up industrial scale farms, with a wink and a nod from USDA bureaucrats, to supply grocery store chains, including Wal-Mart, with millions of gallons of cheap organic milk. In response, in April 2006, 96% of OCA network members voted in an online survey to launch a boycott of two leading organic dairy brands for mislabeling their products as "USDA Organic." Shortly thereafter OCA launched a national boycott against Horizon Organic (a division of Dean Foods, the world's largest dairy conglomerate) and Aurora Organic. All of Aurora's, and much of Horizon's, "organic" milk is coming from industrial dairy feedlots, where the cows routinely have been imported from conventional dairies and have little or no access to pasture. Since April, thousands of consumers and a growing number of co-ops and natural food stores have joined the boycott. Horizon is apparently feeling the heat. Company representatives have recently contacted the OCA to see if we are willing to negotiate. This is good sign in the ongoing battle to preserve organic integrity and stop the "Wal-Martization" of organics.

The hit prime time television series "Fear Factor" forced competitors to face their fears by challenging them to do everything from leaping off cliffs to eating insects. Now the "challenge" has been converted into a junk-food eating game for kids. The "toy" has been ranked as one of the most dangerous toys of the holidays by the group World Against Toys Causing Harm (W.A.T.C.H.), which has monitored toys for over three decades. According to WATCH, "Toy aisles should not be used to encourage food-eating competitions, which invite potential choking and ingestion injuries, particularly for young children." In order to win a round of the FEAR FACTOR CANDY CHALLENGE, contestants must consume as much candy as possible in the shortest amount of time.
