Does NOT	Same standard as the EU Leaf — AB is the brand consumers recognise, not a stricter rule.	Australia has no single mandatory organic mark — ACO is the dominant one, but NASAA, OFC, and others also certify.	Imported organic foods must be re-certified under the Chinese standard — overseas certifications alone are not accepted for the 有机 label.
