Ownership of company
Is Hain Celestial Group owned by a group of huge firms? One list floating around on facebook has it owned by seven huge firms, including Heinz which the article documents as having sold its stock ownership several years ago. The other firms in the fb post are Phillip Morris, Monsanto, Citigroup, Exxon-Mobil, Wal-Mart and Lockheed Martin. Is anyone able to document the truth of falsity of this, now in 2013?

 * From later research I see the firm is not owned by other firms and has its own place in the stock market. --Prairieplant (talk) 00:54, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Expanding the article -- stop edit war
This article needs to get beyond Stub status. It never will when everything added is deleted, and nothing better is put in its place. Challenge to the personal care products in CA courts does not negate the company's existence. One editor asked for outside sources to validate the brands of food are organic, and then same editor reverts edit when a valid reference is found. The primary evidence of organic food status is the label on the product from the federal organic certification process, which is linked in text that was deleted once or twice, and in recognition by consumers that the products are truly organic, matching the certification. The CA court case section on personal care products is written. Move on to other aspects of the company, like how it is doing financially, how much revenue is personal care, how much is from food. It is publicly traded, so the stock analysis is important. Some publicly held company articles show the stock value as a changing part of the company box, and certainly discuss the revenues, costs, strengths, weaknesses of the company. That is what there is to say about a company. If you keep reverting what someone else writes, then have at it, and bias the article totally to your view. --Prairieplant (talk) 00:52, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

It is deleted for a reason: unsourced promotional claims. The company's existence is not being contested here. I don't know who's claiming that. If you wish to expand the article, then do so, but please stop adding promotional unverified stuff. If there is an official certification by a department of health, then perhaps we can add it, just that the food & drugs administration is questioned as the judge expressed it does not show interest in the subject. I'm sorry, but wikipedia does not accept blogs as valid sources. If I were to claim KFC is 100% organic on a private blog, does that mean it can be used here as a 'source'? No. Please see Wikipedia's policy on reliable sources. Calling something organic without proper citation is promoting it.

You also argued that a company wouldn't call itself organic if it was not certified. That is exactly why it is being sued. You must add some valid supporting citations, not blogs or the company's own claims.--Taeyebaar (talk) 03:21, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Also I'm not concerned with the stocks or financial statements since those have already valid sources. I'm only concerned with adding promotional material without any valid citations as I already explained.--Taeyebaar (talk) 03:23, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
