Organic certification is a guarantee of authenticity. Consumers who choose a certified organic product can trust that from the farm through to the factory, solely organic inputs and processes have been used. Certified organic producers must keep good records of everything they do. Every organic producer is audited in person every year by an independent certifying body.
