*Origine BiO is our internal label, guaranteeing that all certified products have already obtained a recognized organic certification. However, we have chosen not to depend on national labels, because we believe that they exercise a monopoly that is often unfair. For us, these certifications do not faithfully reflect the reality of the markets that frame these products. In addition, the labeling criteria vary from one country to another, creating imbalances between producers and distorting the notion of equality. With Origine BiO , we aim to offer a fairer and more consistent alternative.
So if you want an official organic quality certificate validated by an official body, this will not be possible.
