  • Annual inspection by a MAFF-registered certifier.
  • Compliance with the Australian National Standard for Organic and Bio-Dynamic Produce.

Does NOT
  • Outside Denmark, retailers usually rely on the EU Leaf rather than the Ø.

  • Australia has multiple competing organic certifiers — NASAA is one of seven, not the dominant national mark (that's ACO).
