Does NOT	Doesn't certify food as organic — Nordic Swan on a food package means lower-environmental-impact, not 'no synthetic pesticides'.	Doesn't mean organic — Non-GMO products can use synthetic pesticides and fertilizers freely.	Domestic recognition only — exports use the buyer's national mark (USDA, EU Leaf) under equivalence.	USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.
