Organic standards and certification in Australia

Organic certification is a regulatory and audit system aimed at providing guidelines and rules (known as Standards) for those wishing to become producers, processors or retailers/wholesalers/ exporters of organic products.

Certification provides a system of traceability ensuring the integrity of the organic product from ‘paddock to plate’.

Organic certification helps to protect both consumers and producers of organic food from false claims and misleading labelling of organic products.
