About biodynamic food
While the word “organic” might have several general meanings when it is directly applied to the manufacture and production of food it is strictly regulated by law. Producers and manufacturers who use the word ‘organic’ in their products need to be registered with a recognised organic accreditation organization.It’s the role of accreditation organizations to ensure that producers comply with national and international guidelines, keep detailed records of their production processes and agree to submit to annual inspections.
Here in Australia a number of independent organizations perform organic certification. This accounts for the different ‘certified organic’ logos that you find on packaged organic items.
