A guide for producers, processors and packers of organic products

(for England, Wales and Northern Ireland)

Enter your postcode in the field at the bottom of this page to see if your local authority trading standards department has the full leaflet version available on its website. 

The Organic Products Regulations 2009 regulate production and descriptions of organic products. The description 'organic' can only be used to describe agricultural products, livestock and food which are produced and prepared in accordance with the detailed standards laid down.

Some compulsory labelling is required for pre-packed organic food, and the EU logo must be shown.
