LABELLING OF PACKED ORGANIC PRODUCTS.

Labelling of Organic products must include:

2. The Indication of Origin

Each product must bear an indication from where the raw Organic products in that particular product originated.

• ‘Non-EU Agriculture’ :- Where the agricultural raw material has been farmed in third countries
• ‘EU/Non EU Agriculture’ :- Where part of the agricultural raw materials has been farmed in the Community and a part of it has been farmed in a third country.
• The indications ‘EU’ and ‘Non-EU’ may be replaced by a country where all agricultural raw materials used have been farmed in that country, E.g. Malta Agriculture.

 

3. The Control Body or Control Authority Code number
