What are the restrictions on processing of an "organic" product?

If a company uses only organic ingredients but uses non-organic chemicals to extract things from those ingredients, can it still be called organic? I was just reading how some "light" soy milks use hexane to extract soy flour from soybeans. Wondering if that can still qualify as "organic?"

    The processing has to be organic as well. So any extractions using synthetic chemicals is usually forbidden. I grow produce organically and know that certified organic producers have to use OMRI approved ingredients to clean produce. And OMRI would be a good website for you to explore this question further
