Restricted claim

“Organic”

Is “Organic” allowed under the EU Green Claims Directive (2024/825)?

Medium-risk claim Material & composition

Why it is restricted

For food, feed and agricultural products the term is legally reserved for certified operators. Outside that scope it is an unsubstantiated quality claim.

Say this instead

"Certified organic, EE-ECO-001, 96% of agricultural ingredients" — or drop the word if you hold no certification.

In English

  • “biologisch”
  • “orgánico”
  • “biologico”
  • “ekologisk”

Legal basis

Regulation (EU) 2018/848 (organic production and labelling)
