Are All Muslin Bags Made from Organic Cotton?

No. While many muslin bags are labeled as “natural” or “eco-friendly,” not all are made from organic cotton. Whether a bag is truly organic depends on clear labeling and third-party certifications such as GOTS.

Muslin refers to a lightweight, breathable weave that can be made from either conventional or organic cotton. Most standard muslin bags are made from regular cotton, which is not certified organic. Only bags marked “100% organic cotton” and accompanied by certification labels meet organic standards—meaning the cotton was grown without GMOs, chemical fertilizers, or pesticides, and processed under controlled conditions.

If your brand values sustainability or social responsibility, it’s best to choose certified organic muslin bags and confirm with your supplier whether GOTS or similar certification is available.
