I got a great answer from the company about its organic status
The oil is wonderful. It didn't say on the bottle that it was organic, but that doesn't always tell the well story. So I asked. Below, I have copied the company's response. I am satisfied:
"We use over 30 million avocados per month and due to the volume of our production there are not enough certified organic avocados to meet our needs. The good news: Our avocado oil is Verified Non-GMO and Certified Glyphosate Residue Free! Avocados have a protective skin and are grown high off the ground, making them naturally resistant to pests. Very little, if any, pesticides are used and never herbicides. Avocados are consistently #1 of the Environmental Working Group's list of safe, non-organic produce called the "Clean 15". We periodically test our oil to be sure of purity. In order to ship our avocado oil internationally, it must pass stringent tests. For international trade, we test for 100s of chemicals, herbicides, and pesticides to make sure our oil is clean
