BIO nach EG-Öko-Verordnung

The BIO nach EG-Öko-Verordnung certificate is the German guarantee for organic and organic agricultural products on a local level. It proves that the product complies with all the standards of the organic agricultural law.

This BIO nach EG-Öko-Verordnung certification, which is specific to Germany, confirms the organic and organic origin of agricultural products. It assures that the product in question has fulfilled all the requirements set by the organic farming legislation.

The certification therefore primarily indicates that the original raw materials have been grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilisers or other toxic substances. They have been handled gently at all times and stored under appropriate conditions. The initiative to create this certificate came from the German government in 2001 in response to the outbreak of the mad cow crisis and aims to protect both consumers and to maintain the quality and standard of agricultural products.
