Would you like to consume organic products guaranteed by strict European standards?
The EU Organic label ensures that foodstuffs comply with the organic farming requirements defined by the European Union. Discover its history, its criteria and why it represents a guarantee of quality for consumers.

What is the EU Organic label?

The EU Organic label is an official European Union certification awarded to products derived from organic farming.
It guarantees that the food has been produced in compliance with strict environmental, animal welfare and synthetic chemical-free standards.
Only products containing at least 95% organic ingredients are eligible for this certification.

The history of the EU Organic label

Created in 2010, the EU Organic label replaced national organic certifications to harmonize organic standards within the European Union.
Its green logo, representing a leaf made up of stars, has become a recognized symbol of sustainable, environmentally-friendly agriculture.
Today, it is mandatory for all pre-packaged organic products manufactured in Europe.

What are the criteria for the EU organic label?

To obtain EU organic certification, products must meet several criteria:

No use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers
Ban on GMOs (genetically modified organisms)
Respect for animal welfare (free-range farming, organic feed)
Production methods that respect soil and biodiversity
Ban on chemical additives and artificial colorants
Rigorous monitoring and traceability at every stage of production

Each farm or company wishing to obtain this label must undergo strict, regular checks carried out by approved bodies.

How is the EU organic label awarded?

The awarding of the label follows a rigorous, multi-stage process:

Producer’s request: Registration with an approved certification body.
Initial inspection: Verification of production and processing methods.
Analyses and tests: Laboratory checks to detect any non-compliant residues.
Official certification: Award of the label if all conditions are met.
Annual controls: Regular audits to ensure organic standards are maintained.

Why choose PDO-certified products?

Choosing PDO products allows you to :

Discover authentic flavours typical of a specific region
Consume products with recognized and protected taste qualities
Supporting local producers and preserving traditional know-how
Perfect traceability and total transparency

This label is therefore a real guarantee of quality and authenticity for demanding consumers.

Why choose EU organic-certified products?

Choosing products with the EU Organic label means choosing :

Healthy food without chemical pesticides or artificial additives
Production that respects the environment and biodiversity
Better animal welfare, thanks to regulated organic farming
Total traceability, guaranteeing strict production control

This label is a reliable benchmark for consumers who want to opt for a more natural and ethical diet.
