Organic certificate

The control and certification system in organic farming is a guarantee for the consumer that the food has been produced in accordance with strict regulations on organic farming and is free from contaminants, such as residues of plant protection products and hormones, and no artificial fertilizers and genetically modified organisms were used during its production.

Control and certification system in organic farming

Operators who produce and place organic products on the market are subject to a compulsory certification and production control system. The certificate of conformity is issued by an authorized body for a period of 12 months. This body carries out inspections, issues and withdraws certificates of conformity. Each body has its own unique identification number.

One of such entities is the certification body AGRO BIO TEST. It is the most experienced Polish organization, founded in 1996 with the statutory objective of certifying organic farming products in accordance with international requirements.

In Poland, the body that authorizes certification bodies to carry out inspections and issue certificates of conformity in the field of organic farming is the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, while the supervision over authorized certification bodies and organic production is carried out by the Main Inspectorate of Commercial Quality of Agricultural and Food Products.

Recognizing organic food in shops

The rules of organic food production are regulated by the Polish Act on Organic Farming of 2009 and EU legislation. Producers, processors, distributors and importers may use the terms "bio" and "eco" if they meet all the requirements for such food.

In addition to the unified regulations in the European Union, there is also a special labeling for organic products. This is the Community logo, the so-called "Euro-leaf", by which we can recognize that a given producer meets the requirements of the Act on Organic Farming and has a certificate from an authorized certification body, and that at least 95% of the ingredients have been produced by organic methods, and the products were supervised during the production and preparation process in accordance with the accepted, applicable guidelines.
