Organic certification

Consumers are perpetually seeking healthy, safe, environmentally and ethically responsible food options. This is driving tremendous growth in the organic food market. “Organic” is a labeling term that refers to food and agricultural products produced in strict accordance with a specific set of production standards. Though organic food certification differs from region to region, they typically cover the entire value chain, from production, to processing, to distribution.

Bureau Veritas offers a range of certification, auditing and testing services that support food players in meeting the various organic certification requirements that govern organic food production (according to EC Regulations No. 834/2207 and 889/2008). We enable you to demonstrate your compliance with sustainability and animal welfare standards, and that your products are free of hormones, antibiotics, synthetic pesticides, fertilizers and other harmful substances.
