	EU Ecolabel (Flower) European Union · Tier 3 Specialty	Orgánico SAGARPA / SENASICA (Mexico) Mexico · Tier 1 Gold	Soil Association Organic United Kingdom · Tier 2 Trusted	? 'Natural' (NOT a certification) Worldwide · Tier 4 Marketing
What it means	The European Commission's voluntary environmental label. Covers cleaning products, paper, textiles, electronics, accommodation services. NOT an organic mark.	Mexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).	The UK's largest organic certifier. Standards are stricter than the UK government's baseline (which still mirrors EU 2018/848 post-Brexit). Recognised by the EU and USA under equivalence.	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.

Annual on-site inspection by SENASICA-accredited certifier.	Stricter-than-baseline organic standards across food, textiles, cosmetics, and farming. Annual on-site inspection. Animal welfare standards (outdoor access, lower stocking density).	Nothing. It is not a certification and there is no body verifying anything.
Does NOT	Doesn't apply to food. Doesn't mean organic.	USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.	Logo is trademarked — not a free-licence mark.	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.
