Does NOT	Mutual recognition with the US, EU, and Canada applies to specific product categories — check each agreement before importing.	Domestic-only sales can also use FSSAI's 'Jaivik Bharat' mark — if you see only 'Jaivik Bharat' without 'India Organic', the supply chain may be PGS-India rather than NPOP-accredited.	Cosmetics and textiles are covered under separate Korean schemes, not this mark.
