Organic Labels

O rganic labels and certification are the rules created to determine if a product is organic or not. The process regulations are carried out by different organizations in different countries, such as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the National Organic Program (NOP) in the United States, and Bio Suisse in Switzerland.

Organic Certification Organic certification is the process of classifying a particular prod- uct into various categories as per the percentage of organic elements present in it. The higher the organic content, the more eco-friendly the food product is. All retailers, distributors, and farm owners who are either growing, distributing, or processing organic products must have a certificate for it.
