	IFM IFOAM — Organics International Global · Tier 2 Trusted	IBD IBD Orgânico (Brazil) Brazil · Tier 2 Trusted	Orgánico SAGARPA / SENASICA (Mexico) Mexico · Tier 1 Gold
What it means	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.	South America's largest organic certifier. IBD certifies under Brazilian, USDA NOP, EU, and JAS standards — a single-stop certifier widely used across Latin America.	Mexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).
Scope	Several categories	Several categories	Food
Established	1972	1990	2006
Inspection	Periodic review of accredited certifier bodies	Annual on-site, IFOAM- and ISO 17065-accredited	Annual on-site, SENASICA-accredited
Residue testing	Delegated to accredited certifiers	Required	Required
Guarantees	Accredited certifiers meet the IFOAM Norms and the IFOAM Family of Standards. Independent peer review of certifier governance, inspection rigor, and conflict-of-interest controls.	Multiple-standard certification: Brazilian (SisOrg), USDA NOP, EU, JAS, Demeter. Annual on-site inspection.	≥95% organic ingredients per LPO. Annual on-site inspection by SENASICA-accredited certifier.
Does NOT	Does NOT certify products directly — only certifiers. Look for the underlying national / private mark on the package.	A single product may carry IBD plus a country-specific organic mark — IBD itself isn't the regulatory mark in any of those markets, just the accredited certifier.	USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.
