6 reasons to buy Certified Organic
1. Natural food that’s beneficial for your health
Certified Organic food is made without synthetic colourings, preservatives, additives or Genetically Modified (GM) ingredients; items that can be linked with allergic reactions, asthma or ADHD.
2. Certified Organic looks after the environment
The Australian Certified Organic Standard prohibits the use of synthetic chemicals including pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. Organic farming practices also focus on biodiversity production and land regeneration.
3. Grown GM free and without nanotechnology.
It is not currently an Australian legislation requirement to label foods made with GM material. Only Certified Organic food is GM free.
4. The only true free range products
Livestock MUST be 100% free range to be certified organic. Animals must be given a high quality of life that allows them to perform natural social and physical functions – NO caged chickens and NO sow stalls.
5. If you can’t eat it, don’t put it on your skin
Certified products do not use synthetic colourings, fragrances, ethoxylated ingredients, silicones, paraffin or petroleum. All ingredients used are natural and are NOT tested on animals.
6. Certified Organic is 100% socially responsible.
By buying Certified Organic, you are protecting workers’ rights. Australian Certified Organic upholds the principles of fair trade.
