What it means	Mexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).	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.	The European Commission's voluntary environmental label. Covers cleaning products, paper, textiles, electronics, accommodation services. NOT an organic mark.	The federal Canadian organic standard, mandatory on any agricultural product sold across provincial borders or imported as 'organic'.
