What is ‘Certified Organic?’
To be sure you are purchasing a ‘genuine organic’ product, be sure to look for the logo of an independent certifying body, such as:
These products contain (excluding water and salt) at least 95% organically produced agricultural ingredients. The remaining ingredients (up to 5%) can be non-agricultural substances or non-organically produced agricultural ingredients, with strict processing criteria (eg. absolutely no GMOs or synthetics chemicals). These products bear the Australian Certified Organic logo.
Made with organic ingredients products contain (excluding water and salt) at least 70% organically produced agricultural ingredients. Any remaining can be non-agricultural substances (eg, clay, bicarb soda, minerals) or non-organically produced agricultural ingredients, with strict processing criteria (eg. absolutely no GMOs or synthetics chemicals). Mineral-based products contain non-agricultural substances (eg, clay, bicarb soda, minerals), with strict processing criteria (eg. absolutely no GMOs or synthetics chemicals). These products bear the BFA Registered Product logo.
When purchasing a product that carries one of these labels you can be assured the product has been produced without the use of synthetic chemicals or genetically modified organisms (GMO’s). Without the logo, an ‘organic’ claim means nothing! |
