The Swiss organic farmers' federation mark. The Knospe (Bud) is the dominant organic mark in Swiss supermarkets and operates to standards stricter than the Swiss federal organic ordinance.

Does NOT	Mark is trademark-protected.	Norway is outside the EU — the Ø is recognised under EEA equivalence, not direct EU equivalence.	Switzerland is outside the EU — the Knospe is recognised by the EU under the Switzerland-EU equivalence agreement, but not by USDA without further certification.	Australia has no single mandatory organic mark — ACO is the dominant one, but NASAA, OFC, and others also certify.
