organic label

Pesticide-free food marker

An organic label is a certification mark on food or other products indicating they were produced according to organic standards—typically meaning no synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilizers, or genetic modification.

The label signals to consumers that production methods meet regulatory requirements: Look for the organic label if you want to avoid pesticides.

Standards vary by country, and the label's meaning depends on which certifying body issued it.
