In chemistry organic is concerned with the carbon compounds of living beings and also most other carbon compounds. So non organic would be what is left.

In food organic is referring to that which was produced without the use of hormones, antibiotics (for non-medicinal purposes), synthetic fertilizers or pesticides in accordance with the USDA National Organic Program (NOP). The use of the term is regulated by the NOP and only those products that meet the standards may use the term. Therefore all other products would be non organic.

Non organic food is any food that is not grown organically (without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides). Non-organic foods, even if labeled "natural," can contain synthetic food coloring and additives, GMOs, etc. Even if foods are labeled "organic" they can contain 30% non-organic ingredients. In order for a food to be 100% organic, it must be labeled "100% organic."

Non-organic foods are foods that contain GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms), contain artificial preservatives, or have been sprayed with pesticides.
Non organic foods do not have the USDA seal. A

Non-organic food is any food that has not been raised organically.

Some examples are:

Green beans that have been raised using synthetic pesticides.

Alfalfa that has been genetically modified.

Processed foods that contain high fructose corn syrup derived from corn that is GMO or was raised using synthetic fertilizers

Soy milk made from GMO soybeans

Meat from animals that have been given rGBH or other growth hormones

Meat from animals fed GMO feed

Processed foods that contain non-organic food coloring or preservatives.

An apple that has been sprayed with synthetic insecticides.

Any food that contains GMOs

Any food containing ingredients that have been sprayed with synthetic chemicals

Any processed food that contains non-organic ingredients.

To be organic, a food must be raised without use of synthetic chemical fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, etc. The food cannot contain GMOs. If it is a processed food, it cannot contain non-organically grown ingredients.
