Organic logos

How do we identify organic food products over conventional food products? In supermarkets, we can see packed spices and foods with a label "Organic" , "100% Organic" and so on, claiming that its completely or partially organic.

We know that, food products can be labelled "Organic " only if it meets the standards of organic production by the government. Each country has its own standards and so its own logo, I have presented here a few countries organic logo in this post. 

                                                                            INDIA

                                                                             
                                                                                 US
                                                                                                                                                          EUROPEAN UNION 



AUSTRALIA

JAPAN

With these logos on the package, we can understand the product to be organically certified.
