How do I know it is Organic?

Currently there are no laws or regulations in Australia to protect the use of the word "organic". Many products carry the word "organic" on their labelling, but only if it is certified organic by a recognised certifier can consumer be sure it is truly organic.

Certified organic products are grown and processed without the use of synthetic chimicals, fertilisers, or GMOs. Organic does not just mean free from positive chemical test results, it refers to how our food is grown and handled. Certified organic or bio-dynamic products are produced with land management practices that prohibit use of artificial fertilisers, herbicides, pesticides, growth regulators, antibiotics, hormone stimulants or intensive livestock systems. Animals raised using organic methods are treated humanely and with respect.

Certification meets international standards which are assured through annual audits of all certified growers, producers, manufacturers and wholesalers by an independent third party auditor. There are a number of approved certifiers in Australia and many more internationally.
