Concept of Organic Foods

Introduction
Organic food from consumer point of view is a food which has been produced to certain standard level to be acceptable and considered as “natural” food.

Legally, it is not allowed to use any chemical materials such as conventional non-organic pesticides, insecticides, herbicides (with strict regulations a few of them may be allowed with strict regulations).



In contrast to conventionally treated livestock, it is forbidden to use antibiotics and hormones in animal feeds when organic method is followed.


Animals have to be kept in specific environments; for instance chickens should be left to feed and walk freely and have access to sunlight.


In order to comply with the Food Standard Regulations, organic foods are required to be labeled as “Organic”, “100% organic” or “made with organic ingredients” on the packages. This would also provide reliability for the customers who would like to rely on the accuracy of these products.


When a food product claims as “100% organic”, it means that the whole content of the package is completely organic and every legal standard has been met to produce this product organically.
