How To Be Sure That Your Food Is Genuinely Organic

How can I be sure that my food is genuinely organic?

To be sure your food is genuinely organic, look for the UK code. You can look for the certification code of an organic certification body -- there are about ten in the UK. The Soil Association is the largest organic body and our UK code is UK5. People might recognise our symbol, which is like the three-pronged starfish. It's not a legal requirement for the company to display the symbol, but it is a legal requirement for them to display the UK code for organic food. For example, on tomatoes, the label to show they are genuinely organic is very small. Thus, you might not see the symbol, but you would see 'Organic UK5' and you would know that it's certified as organic produce.
