What it means	Certifies fair prices and conditions for producers in developing countries — not organic, not environmental. Common on coffee, cocoa, sugar, bananas, tea.	Mexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).	The European Commission's voluntary environmental label. Covers cleaning products, paper, textiles, electronics, accommodation services. NOT an organic mark.	The international umbrella body for the organic movement. Not a product label — IFOAM accredits other certifiers worldwide via the IFOAM Family of Standards. If a cert is 'IFOAM-accredited' it has been benchmarked to a globally consistent baseline.

Doesn't apply to food. Doesn't mean organic.	Does NOT certify products directly — only certifiers. Look for the underlying national / private mark on the package.
