What it means	The official environmental label of the Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland).

The federal Canadian organic standard, mandatory on any agricultural product sold across provincial borders or imported as 'organic'.	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.	Sweden's leading organic mark. Built on the EU 2018/848 baseline plus stricter Swedish add-ons covering animal welfare, climate impact, and social conditions.

Does NOT	Doesn't certify food as organic — Nordic Swan on a food package means lower-environmental-impact, not 'no synthetic pesticides'.	Provincial sales-only operations are not legally required to carry it (though many do voluntarily).	Australia has no single mandatory organic mark — ACO is the dominant one, but NASAA, OFC, and others also certify.	Mark is trademark-protected.
