	AB (Agriculture Biologique) France · Tier 2 Trusted	? 'Natural' (NOT a certification) Worldwide · Tier 4 Marketing	Orgánico SAGARPA / SENASICA (Mexico) Mexico · Tier 1 Gold	IFM IFOAM — Organics International Global · Tier 2 Trusted
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.	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.	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.
Scope	Food	Several categories	Food	Several categories
Established	1985	—	2006	1972
Inspection	Annual on-site by French-accredited certifiers	None	Annual on-site, SENASICA-accredited	Periodic review of accredited certifier bodies
Residue testing	Risk-based	None	Required	Delegated to accredited certifiers
Guarantees	EU baseline organic (EU 2018/848). Annual on-site inspection by accredited French certifiers (Ecocert, Bureau Veritas, Qualité-France).	Nothing. It is not a certification and there is no body verifying anything.	≥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.
Does NOT	Same standard as the EU Leaf — AB is the brand consumers recognise, not a stricter rule.	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.	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.
