In July 2010, was applied throughout the EU a binding new organic seal. The EU organic logo and those of EU Member States are used to supplement the labelling and increase the visibility of organic food and drink for consumers.
So, consumers buying products bearing the EU logo can be confident that:
- at least 95% of the product's ingredients of agricultural origin have been organically produced;
- the product complies with the rules of the official inspection scheme;
- the product has come directly from the producer or preparer in a sealed package;
- the product bears the name of the producer, the preparer or vendor and the name or code of the inspection body
