Revised EU rules on organic food labelling, including the requirement to display a new logo, came into force on 1 July.

The “Euro-Leaf” logo is obligatory on pre-packaged organic food products produced in any EU member state meeting the necessary standards.

Other private, regional or national logos will appear alongside the EU label and it remains optional for non-packed and imported organic products.

The new labelling rules also include the compulsory indications of place of farming of the products’ ingredients.
