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.	Denmark's national organic mark, owned by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration. The red Ø is one of the most-trusted food labels in the world — recognised by ~98% of Danish consumers.	Mexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).	New Zealand's largest organic certifier. Recognised by the EU, US, and Japan under their respective import-equivalence regimes.

EU baseline organic (EU 2018/848). Annual on-site inspection by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration. Direct government control (not a private body) — the unusual Danish model that drives high consumer trust.	≥95% organic ingredients per LPO.

Covers food, textiles, and personal care under separate standards.
Does NOT	Imported organic foods must be re-certified under the Chinese standard — overseas certifications alone are not accepted for the 有机 label.	Outside Denmark, retailers usually rely on the EU Leaf rather than the Ø.	USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.	New Zealand has no single legally-mandated 'organic' definition — voluntary certification is the norm.
