Labelling terms referring to organic production and EU organic logo make it easier for the consumers to identify organic products and ensure organic food meet strict conditions of production and processing, in accordance with EU requirements. In line with the overall revision of organic production, the new Regulation (EU) No 2018/848, which will come into force in January 2022, introduces some evolutions - but no revolution - to the processing and labelling of organic food products.
A wider range of products may be certified organic
The new Organic Regulation will cover a wider range of products, meaning that more products are likely to be certified as organic.
It will include certain other products “closely linked to agriculture” in addition to the live or unprocessed agricultural products – seeds and other plant reproductive materials already covered today. These products are listed in Annex I of the Regulation (EU) 2018/848, and will include, for instance, sea salt or essential oils other than those intended to be consumed as foodstuffs – essential oils for food use were already covered by the previous organic rules.
Additionally, the Commission will be empowered to add further products to that list.
Requirements for organic processed food products
Processed foods must be produced mainly from organic agricultural ingredients. Some non-organic ingredients of agricultural origin may also be used, but only if they have been authorized for use in organic production and used in low proportion, i.e.: up to 5% of the agricultural ingredients of the product by weight. The same principle applies to other substances like food additives or processing aids.
