At the moment, neither the Codex Alimentarius Guidelines for the production, processing,
labelling and marketing of organically produced foods (GL 32-1999, last amended 2013) nor the
National Organic Program (USA) cover aquaculture. The NOP rules for livestock production
allow the use of hydrogen peroxide ‘as disinfectants, sanitizers and medical treatments as
applicable’, i.e. in the absence and in the presence of animals. Sodium percarbonate is notallowed for livestock production, but it may be used as a pesticide, ‘if the requirements of
205.206(e)3 are met’.
