What it means	North America's leading 'no genetically modified organisms' certification. Tests for the presence of GMOs in finished products. NOT organic.	Certifies fair prices and conditions for producers in developing countries — not organic, not environmental. Common on coffee, cocoa, sugar, bananas, tea.	Australia's largest organic certifier, accredited under the Australian National Standard for Organic and Bio-Dynamic Produce. The bud-and-leaf logo is the most-seen organic mark in Australian supermarkets.	The international umbrella body for the organic movement. Not a product label — IFOAM accredits other certifiers worldwide via the IFOAM Family of Standards. If a cert is 'IFOAM-accredited' it has been benchmarked to a globally consistent baseline.
Scope	Food	Food	Food	Several categories
Established	2010	1997	2002	1972
Inspection	Annual third-party audit + lab testing	Annual on-site by FLOCERT (independent of Fairtrade International)	Annual on-site, ACOS-accredited	Periodic review of accredited certifier bodies
Residue testing	GMO testing only (not pesticide)	Not for organic — Fairtrade alone doesn't test residues	Risk-based	Delegated to accredited certifiers
Guarantees	Verified absence of GMO ingredients (with action thresholds, not zero tolerance). Annual third-party verification. Tracing and segregation across the supply chain.	Minimum price floors for producer cooperatives. Fairtrade Premium paid into community-development funds. Bans on the worst forms of child and forced labour. Producer organisations must be small-farmer cooperatives or hired-labour plantations meeting standards.	≥95% organic ingredients. No synthetic pesticides, no GMOs. Annual on-site inspection. Animal welfare and biodynamic-compatible production options.	Accredited certifiers meet the IFOAM Norms and the IFOAM Family of Standards. Independent peer review of certifier governance, inspection rigor, and conflict-of-interest controls.
Does NOT	Doesn't mean organic — Non-GMO products can use synthetic pesticides and fertilizers freely.	Doesn't mean organic — many Fairtrade products are conventionally grown. A separate Fairtrade-Organic dual certification exists.	Australia has no single mandatory organic mark — ACO is the dominant one, but NASAA, OFC, and others also certify.	Does NOT certify products directly — only certifiers. Look for the underlying national / private mark on the package.
