The use of the EU organic label is definitely linked to certain guidelines and requirements and may not be used without certification.
A company is only considered to be operating organically if it complies with the relevant regulations of Regulations (EC) No. 834/2007, (EC) No. 889/2008, (EC) No. 1235/2008 and this directive and if it undergoes a recognized control procedure. In our specific case, these are the (Austrian) organic inspection bodies, Austria Bio Garantie and Cosmos Organic-which are accredited according to the European standard.
The organic control then covers the entire production process can still vary from control body in terms of requirements in detail.
