Shoppers Want Clarity On Organic Produce Standards

Some shoppers of organic produce are concerned about the ambiguity of proposed organic legislation, which does not define what organic means.

The Organic Products Bill making its way through primary production select committee, could see the principles of organic food production corrupted unless it was amended, some consumers say.

New Zealand is only one of two exporting countries in the world that does not have national standards to define organics, Organics Aotearoa New Zealand said in its 2018 organic market report.
