Organic Processing & Mixing
We have held our SOPA organic licence since 2021 and have processed & mixed Organic Seed for a number of seed breeders and organic farmers in the UK.
The Organic Standards for Food Processing protect the food constituents so that organic ingredients are used, and encourage the avoidance of unnecessary processing.
Organic labelling offers consumers confidence that their goods are produced under controlled organic standards.
A product cannot be sold as organic without organic certification covering every step of the supply chain - so there is full traceability and authenticity behind the organic label.
