- Organic agriculture: protects our next generation by minimising children’s exposure to toxic and persistent pesticides in the soil in which they play, the air they breathe, the water they drink, and the foods they eat. Organic products: An increasing number of companies are now claiming to have “ organic ” products. What does this mean if organic describes a farming method. Is there an authority that governs the use of the term 'organic' on labels? NO. Then how can we tell if a product is truly organic?
- Certified organic products : The term 'certified organic' is regulated by government and independent certification bodies. Certified organic is an independent third party guarantee of an “organic” claim. Purchasing products with the logo of a certifying body on the label is the only way you can guarantee the organic authenticity and integrity of every ingredient in the product. Without this, the organic claim means nothing, as it cannot be verified. Here are some examples of internationally recognised certifying bodies: ACO, USDA logo
- Requirements for a 'certified organic' product:': at least 95% of the agricultural product ingredient must be certified, with a 5% allowance for the use of non-agricultural, non-organic agricultural ingredients (excluding salt and water). Certified Organic products are minimally processed without artificial ingredients, preservatives, or irradiation. The onus is on the Processor to keep detailed written purchasing, production and sales records (audit trail) to ensure traceability of ingredients, to maintain strict physical separation of organic products from non-certified products; and to undergo periodic on-site inspections (audits).
