Guarantees

  • Annual on-site inspection by accredited German certifier.
  • At least 95% of ingredients are certified organic (the '100% Organic' variant requires every ingredient).

  • Residue testing on at least 5% of certified operations each year.

Does NOT
  • Same standard as the EU Leaf — not stricter.
  • 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.
  • A single product may carry IBD plus a country-specific organic mark — IBD itself isn't the regulatory mark in any of those markets, just the accredited certifier.
