Organic products are safe foodstuffs which go through a chain of controls in all phases of agricultural food production – from the field right through to the supermarket shelves. They do not contain any ingredients harmful to your health or to the environment such as chemical substances, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides or artificial fertilizers. The coveted label BIO can only be attached to those products that have been produced in compliance with the regulations governing organic products and that carry the relevant certificate from an organic controls authority.
