	AB (Agriculture Biologique) France · Tier 2 Trusted	India Organic (NPOP) India · Tier 1 Gold	Orgánico SAGARPA / SENASICA (Mexico) Mexico · Tier 1 Gold	? 'Natural' (NOT a certification) Worldwide · Tier 4 Marketing
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.	India's national organic mark under the National Programme for Organic Production. Administered by APEDA; required on any food exported as organic and increasingly on domestic packaging.	Mexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).	The word 'natural' on packaging is a marketing term, not a certification. In most jurisdictions there's no legal definition, no standard, and no inspection. A product labelled 'natural' can contain synthetic ingredients, pesticides, GMOs, and artificial flavours.
Scope	Food	Food	Food	Several categories
Established	1985	2001	2006	—
Inspection	Annual on-site by French-accredited certifiers	Annual on-site by APEDA-accredited certifier	Annual on-site, SENASICA-accredited	None
Residue testing	Risk-based	Required for export shipments	Required	None
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 third-party certification.	≥95% organic ingredients per LPO. Annual on-site inspection by SENASICA-accredited certifier.	Nothing. It is not a certification and there is no body verifying anything.
Does NOT	Same standard as the EU Leaf — AB is the brand consumers recognise, not a stricter rule.	Domestic-only sales can also use FSSAI's 'Jaivik Bharat' mark — if you see only 'Jaivik Bharat' without 'India Organic', the supply chain may be PGS-India rather than NPOP-accredited.	USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.	Doesn't mean organic. Doesn't mean pesticide-free. Doesn't mean GMO-free. Doesn't mean ethically produced. Some markets (e.g. the US FDA on food, EU on cosmetics) place very limited restrictions on the word, but enforcement is weak.
