What is organic?
The term 'organic' is used for products that are made or grown according to organic production standards and can be certified by an official body. The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) recognises AsureQuality and BioGro New Zealand Limited as third party agents that audit organic operators to ensure compliance with the appropriate international rules and standards.
No specific legislation covers organic products, but under the Fair Trading Act 1986 it is an offence to give false and misleading consumer information.
