	AB (Agriculture Biologique) France · Tier 2 Trusted	Australian Certified Organic Australia · Tier 1 Gold	Non-GMO Project Verified United States · Tier 3 Specialty
What it means	France's national organic mark, owned by the Ministry of Agriculture. Sits alongside the EU Leaf on virtually all French organic packaging.	Australia's largest organic certifier, accredited under the Australian National Standard for Organic and Bio-Dynamic Produce. The bud-and-leaf logo is the most-seen organic mark in Australian supermarkets.	North America's leading 'no genetically modified organisms' certification. Tests for the presence of GMOs in finished products. NOT organic.
Scope	Food	Food	Food
Established	1985	2002	2010
Inspection	Annual on-site by French-accredited certifiers	Annual on-site, ACOS-accredited	Annual third-party audit + lab testing
Residue testing	Risk-based	Risk-based	GMO testing only (not pesticide)
Guarantees	EU baseline organic (EU 2018/848). Annual on-site inspection by accredited French certifiers (Ecocert, Bureau Veritas, Qualité-France).	≥95% organic ingredients. No synthetic pesticides, no GMOs. Annual on-site inspection. Animal welfare and biodynamic-compatible production options.	Verified absence of GMO ingredients (with action thresholds, not zero tolerance). Annual third-party verification. Tracing and segregation across the supply chain.
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.	Doesn't mean organic — Non-GMO products can use synthetic pesticides and fertilizers freely.
