EU Organic Standards
Organic farmers, processors and traders, must comply with strict EU requirements if they want to use the EU organic logo or label their products as organic. The EU requires an equally strict control system with checks carried out at every stage of the organic chain. Every operator (farmer, processor, trader, importer or exporter) is checked at least once a year, or more often on the basis of risk assessment.
Labelling of organic produce, the standard list of ingredients and nutritional value figures, organic product labels should bear the name of the producer, processor or distributor who last handled the item. The code number of the national certification authority should also be on the label. Moreover, the Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers gives the minimum requirements on nutrition. https://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/organic/eu-policy_en
