New Logo to be Introduced for all EU Organic Products

From 1st July 2010, the organic logo of the EU will be obligatory on all pre-packaged organic products that have been produced in any of the EU Member States and meet the necessary standards. The new "Euro-leaf" design shows the EU stars in the shape of a leaf against a green background.

The logo will be optional for imported products while other private, regional or national logos will be allowed to appear alongside the EU label. This is in contrast to the existing EU organic logo which was used only on voluntary basis. It will reassure consumers that the products are of genuine organic origin, and of a quality that is standardized throughout the EU.
