How to Verify Organic Certification Authenticity
Step 1: Request the current organic certificate — check expiry date and scope. Step 2: Verify the certifying body is USDA-accredited at ams.usda.gov/organic-certifiers. Step 3: For EU, verify the certifying body at the EU notified control body list. Step 4: Request a Transaction Certificate for each shipment — this proves the specific batch is certified organic.
