	AB (Agriculture Biologique) France · Tier 2 Trusted	Orgánico SAGARPA / SENASICA (Mexico) Mexico · Tier 1 Gold	IFM IFOAM — Organics International Global · Tier 2 Trusted	USDA Organic United States · Tier 1 Gold
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.	Mexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).	The international umbrella body for the organic movement. Not a product label — IFOAM accredits other certifiers worldwide via the IFOAM Family of Standards. If a cert is 'IFOAM-accredited' it has been benchmarked to a globally consistent baseline.	The US Department of Agriculture's national organic standard. The green-and-white seal is the legal mark for any food sold as 'organic' in the United States.
Scope	Food	Food	Several categories	Food

Guarantees	EU baseline organic (EU 2018/848). Annual on-site inspection by accredited French certifiers (Ecocert, Bureau Veritas, Qualité-France).	≥95% organic ingredients per LPO. Annual on-site inspection by SENASICA-accredited certifier.	Accredited certifiers meet the IFOAM Norms and the IFOAM Family of Standards. Independent peer review of certifier governance, inspection rigor, and conflict-of-interest controls.	At least 95% of ingredients are certified organic (the '100% Organic' variant requires every ingredient). No synthetic pesticides, no synthetic fertilizers, no GMOs, no sewage sludge, no irradiation. Annual on-site inspection by a USDA-accredited certifier. Residue testing on at least 5% of certified operations each year.
Does NOT	Same standard as the EU Leaf — AB is the brand consumers recognise, not a stricter rule.	USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.	Does NOT certify products directly — only certifiers. Look for the underlying national / private mark on the package.	Doesn't certify nutrition, taste, or animal welfare specifically (separate marks like AWA cover welfare). Doesn't guarantee local production — a 'USDA Organic' product can be grown anywhere with an accredited inspector.
