'Natural' (NOT a certification)
Worldwide · Tier 4 Marketing
What it meansMexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).The federal Canadian organic standard, mandatory on any agricultural product sold across provincial borders or imported as 'organic'.The word 'natural' on packaging is a marketing term, not a certification. In most jurisdictions there's no legal definition, no standard, and no inspection. A product labelled 'natural' can contain synthetic ingredients, pesticides, GMOs, and artificial flavours.
