Companies label their products natural or organic, are they not the same?

I just opened a jar of salsa, it said all natural on the label, is that the same as organic? I noticed that organic and all natural are everywhere these days, organic and all natural are the same thing right?

    No they are not the same.
    Organic products must meet organic standards and “natural” could be ingredients such as sugar – which is not always organic. Tomatoes are natural but not organic unless grown in organically approved methods.

    No, They are not the same. For products to be labeled as Organic they must meet very strict standards of which the best known is no chemical fertilizers or pesticides or similar can be used on any of the ingredients of the product. Natural labels are labels which have ingredients which are grown on a farm and in a few cases mined. Yes, mined, salt is mined and is natural. Natural labels are ingredients which are not manufactured. I hope this helps.
