Organic products reduce public health risks to farmworkers, their families, and consumers by minimizing their exposure to toxic and persistent chemicals on the farm and in food, the soil in which they work and play, the air they breathe, and the water they drink.
Children are especially vulnerable to pesticides. Thus, offering organic food and fibre products into the marketplace gives parents the option of choosing products produced without using these toxins.
When we partner up with a brand, we check their products are organic by checking if they have the following labels:
-
Soil Association Organic Standard: Organic certification for farmers, growers, food processors and packers, retailers, caterers, textile producers, health and beauty manufacturers and importers, in the UK and internationally.
-
Natrue-Label: The Natrue-Label is a guarantee for cosmetic products. Their goal is to promote and protect natural beauty and skin care products. Any product with the Natrue label is intended to be as natural as possible, using natural and organic ingredients, soft manufacturing processes and environmentally friendly practices.
-
Global Organic Textile Standard: The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) was developed with the aim to unify the various existing standards and draft standards in the field of eco textile processing and to define world-wide recognised requirements that ensure organic status of textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally.
-
Organic Farmers & Growers Certification: Organic Farmers & Growers label indicates product meets UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) regulations for organic production and processing in the UK.
-
Organic Food Federation: Certification of Organic operations and product.
-
Wholesome Food Association: The Wholesome Food Association local symbol scheme is a low-cost, grassroots alternative to organic certification for people in the UK who are growing or producing food for sale in their local region. Members of the WFA who abide by our food production standards and sell their produce locally are entitled to use our quality symbol to certify their production methods.
