Fraudulently selling non-organic produce as organic could be a threat to an environmentally sensitive person that needs that kind of food. If someone is deliberately selling non-organic produce as organic at farmer's markets, who do you report that to, and is there a penalty for it?

For problems such as this you should call The USDA National Organic Program at (202) 205-7806. Some of the state organic programs are fully functional but many are not.
