Different trademarks for organic food

The right to choose the food that fits the best to you is a fundamental human right. The demand for organic certified food is much high nowadays, as people are more inclined towards healthy, affordable pesticide-free, environmentally friendly and sustainable lifestyle alternatives. One can buy the best quality and purest form of organic spices by seeing the following labels:

1) EU organic products label

This label indicates that a product has been grown by a sustainable farming process. Foods may only be marked as 'organic' if at least 95% of their agricultural ingredients are organic. In non-organic foods, any ingredients which meet organic standards can be listed as 'organic'. To ensure credibility, the code number of the certifying organisation must be provided. The EU regulation on organic farming covers not only production and processing, but also the control and labelling of organic food. Placing the logo – the "Euroleaf" – is mandatory on all pre-packaged organic foods manufactured in the EU. The logo may also be placed on other organic products and products exported outside the EU, but its use is voluntary. However, this is not a binding requirement for organic foods from non-EU countries

2) India Organic - National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP)

India Organic is a certification mark for organically farmed food products manufactured in India.

The Government of India has implemented the National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP). It involves the accreditation programme for certification bodies, standards for organic production and promotion of organic farming. The NPOP standards for production and accreditation have been recognised by the European Commission and Switzerland as well as US as equivalent to their country standards. With these 39 recognitions, Indian organic products, duly certified by the accredited certification bodies of India, are accepted by the importing countries. It is managed by a government body known as Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA).
