I. Production standards
The production of organic food must follow strict organic agricultural production standards. This includes soil management, selection of seeds and planting materials, crop rotation, pest control and so on. Soil management requires avoiding the use of chemical synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, but maintaining soil health and ecological balance through organic fertilizers and biological control methods. Seeds and planting materials must come from certified organic seed sources to ensure the purity of genetic resources. Rotation is helpful to reduce the occurrence of diseases and insect pests and improve soil fertility. Pest control emphasizes prevention and adopts non-chemical methods such as biological control and physical control to reduce environmental pollution.
Second, the processing standard
In the process of organic food processing, it is necessary to ensure that the organic nature of raw materials is not destroyed, and no chemical additives and preservatives are used. In the process of processing, we should follow the principle of minimum processing and keep the natural attributes and nutritional value of food as much as possible. At the same time, the processing equipment should be cleaned and disinfected regularly to prevent cross-contamination.
Three. Storage and transportation standards
The storage and transportation of organic food also need to follow strict standards. The storage environment should be kept clean, dry and ventilated, so as to prevent food from being damp and moldy. Effective measures should be taken to prevent food from being contaminated and damaged during transportation. At the same time, the storage and transportation records should be detailed and complete for traceability and monitoring.
Fourth, sales and labeling standards
The sale of organic food should ensure the authenticity and traceability of the products. The seller shall provide complete product information, including origin, production date, certification body, etc. Product identification should be clear and definite, with the word "organic" and relevant certification marks. When buying organic food, consumers should pay attention to product certification and identification information to ensure that they buy real organic food.
To sum up:
Organic food certification standards are a series of standards and guidelines that regulate and require the whole process of organic food production, processing, storage, transportation and sales. These standards aim to ensure the authenticity, safety and environmental protection of organic food, protect consumers' rights and interests and promote the sustainable development of organic agriculture. In practice, all parties concerned should strictly abide by these standards to ensure the quality and safety of organic food.
