Does NOT
  • Mark is trademark-protected.
  • 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.
  • Same standard as the EU Leaf — not stricter.
  • Doesn't mean organic — Non-GMO products can use synthetic pesticides and fertilizers freely.
