Why Choose Certified Organic?
When you choose Certified Organic ingredients, you avoid unwanted and potentially harmful synthetic chemicals such as antibiotics, preservatives, synthetic herbicides, pesticides and other chemicals.
In addition, meat and poultry that is Certified Organic contains no hormones, GMO’s and is free-range.
Equally important, Certified Organic means products are produced with sustainability in mind. Namely, the Cleaver’s Organic Chicken is a great option to make this Lemon & Herb Chicken with Piri Piri Coleslaw & Sweet Potato Chips.
What’s the difference between Organic & Certified Organic?
There is a difference between organic and certified organic products in Australia. For instance, when a food product is classified as ‘Certified Organic’ they have been rigorously tested through every step of the process, from the farmer’s field right up to the store shelf.
Certified Organic products adhere to a strict set of organic standards, such as the Australian Certified Organic Standard.
How to know if something is Certified Organic?
Did you know that currently in Australia there is NO mandatory domestic regulation around the term ‘organic’ on product labels? In short, this means that a product which as little as 2% organic ingredients can claim organic on its packaging. You can head to the Australian Organic Limited website to find out more about organic brands, the organic industry and how Australian Organic Limited are working to change the legislation around the use of the word “organic” on product packaging.
In brief, to know if something is certified organic, look for the Bud logo. Specifically, this is a small logo found on any food product that reflects the certification, achieved through extensive testing and adheres to strict guidelines from farm to shelf.
