Does NOT	Doesn't apply to food. Doesn't mean organic.	Doesn't certify food as organic — Nordic Swan on a food package means lower-environmental-impact, not 'no synthetic pesticides'.	Provincial sales-only operations are not legally required to carry it (though many do voluntarily).	Australia has multiple competing organic certifiers — NASAA is one of seven, not the dominant national mark (that's ACO).
