What products are genuinely organic? What products are genuinely natural? To minimize any confusion and to make things a bit easier, there are internationally recognised certifying bodies who govern the use of the term “certified organic” or “certified natural”.
Only products that meet the strict standards of the organic guidelines are able to display the “Certified Organic” or “Certified Natural” seals. Certifying bodies operate according to strict international standards. The entire process of product development is rigorously monitored beginning with the seed…
* how it is grown
* harvested
* stored
* transported
* processed
Provided each stage is completed according to the international standards then the finished product will display the certified logo.
