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.	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.	A German farmers' association whose private organic standard is stricter than the EU baseline. Covers food, aquaculture, textiles, and cosmetics. Recognised globally.

Does NOT	Does NOT certify products directly — only certifiers. Look for the underlying national / private mark on the package.	USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.	New Zealand has no single legally-mandated 'organic' definition — voluntary certification is the norm.	Membership-based — only farms that join the Naturland association can use the mark.
