Bio - meaning of the word

As the twenty-first century dawns, man is increasingly becoming conscious of how he cares for the planet and its finite resources. In recent years, the word organic has been used more and more often and for this it is important to know what it shows us. Every single organic product you buy from the store has to meet strict requirements set by the state by law in order to reach consumers. These are products that have certificates attesting to their organic origin as well as how they were produced.

Standards and labelling of organic products

Often an organic product is confused with a natural product. The difference between the two is great, and the most important clarification is that there are strict standards for an organic product. These include production, handling, processing, etc. These standards apply worldwide. By comparison, natural products lack such standards in most of the world.

As regards labels, there are requirements for these too. Every producer has to comply with rules and regulations before putting the organic label on their product.

More and more people are choosing to use organic products. The reason for this is that because of the strict controls that are imposed on these products, people can be sure that no harmful chemicals have been used.

Nowadays, organic products are accessible to every person. They are sold in specialty stores, and mass supermarkets now have special sections for those looking for organic.
