      • the product is labeled as organic under the the named government regulations and private standards,
      • the supplying company is listed in this directory and
      • the product is mentioned with the status "organic" or "in conversion".

      Since not all control bodies participate in this project, the directory is not yet complete. The control bodies that provide their data, are listed here.
