The people that manufacture that product are wanting to take advantage of the growing market in organic products and will put that on the label to entice you to buy. Read the label of every thing you buy carefully, do not take the word of these people that what they are selling you is either not harmful to you or is actually good for you. There is nothing in a bottle or bag that will help you become "organic" since it comes down to your soil and adding enough organic matter to that soil and you cannot find enough OM in a bag or bottle. The manufacturers of that product are owned by Monsanto Corporation, and that alone should be enough to tell you to steer clear of their products.
I sent an email/complaint to the company and this is what i got back:

HA! As if they contain "100%" organic ingredients. Probably half and half...Or something like that...
Gasoline, Kerosene, Fuel Oil, Diesel Fuel are all "organic" but would you put them on your garden? The Miracle Gro, owned by Scotts, owned by Monsanto, folks use the chemical definition of organic where things are either organic or inorganic and that makes iron ore organic too, so according to their definition you could grind up your car and spread that around your garden for a plant food.
A GOOD definition of "organic" (the type of organic that we garden by): If you need an expensive dictionary to tell you exactly what the ingredients in a product are, it is NOT organic.

Even Ham Radio operators love organic food. Especially here in SW lower MI.
