Organic Food
Food that is produced on farms or in gardens that follow organic principals and have not been contaminated with artificial chemicals are what people understand as “organic food”. If a farmer or processor claim their food is organic they should be able to provide customers with evidence their claim is the truth and that they have followed a standard.
The Pacific Organic Standard is tailored to the unique needs of both consumers and producers in the Pacific.
For foods to be labeled as organic under the Pacific Organic Standard, at least 95% of the ingredients must come from organically produced plants and animals. This means that the product must have been produced to these standards and inspected and certified by a POETCom registered certification body, or Participatory Guarantee System. These foods can carry the ‘Organic Pasifika’ certification mark.
