What it means	China's national organic certification under the Certification and Accreditation Administration. Mandatory on any product sold as '有机' (organic) in mainland China.	Mexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).	Denmark's national organic mark, owned by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration.
