The Fair Trade certification is a product certification system offered by Fair Trade USA®. It monitors the buying and the selling of a product up to the point of consumer packaging and labeling. 

The Fair Trade Certified seal on a product means you can be sure it adheres to rigorous social, environmental, and economic standards. The people making Fair Trade Certified goods work in safe conditions, protect the environment, build sustainable livelihoods, and earn additional money to empower and uplift their communities.

The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) is a non-profit foundation created in May 2000 and managed by The Consumer Goods Forum.

This certification ensures confidence in the delivery of safe food to consumers worldwide, as well as developing mechanisms to exchange information along the supply chain, raise consumer awareness, and review existing good retail practices.

Global Food Safety Initiative Certification

The Organic European Union (Organic EU) organic logo lends a coherent identity to organic products produced in the European Union. This makes it easier to identify organic products and helps farmers market them across the entirety of the EU.

This logo identifies products produced and inspected according to the EU regulations for organic farming, mainly indicating that at least 95% of ingredients of agricultural origin come from organic farming, and the remaining 5% respect further strict conditions.

Organic (EU)

Organic is a widespread and common certification for producers of organic food and agricultural products. Certified organic products are those which have been produced, stored, processed, handled, and marketed in accordance with specific standards labeled as organic by a certification body. This label applies to the production process, not the quality of the product.

The main requirements for an organic certification generally include the avoidance of synthetic chemical inputs (such as fertilizer, pesticides, antibiotics, and food additives), irradiation, and genetically modified organisms; and specific requirements for feed, housing, and breeding of livestock.
