9. What is the difference between BIO and non-BIO Athina®?

You can find a lot of information about the difference between organic and non-organic products. You can get better information from our organic inspection body: https://ofgorganic.org/

But there are certain requirements that should be met.

If you want to call your food “organic”, you must be certified according to the EU regulation i.e. comply with the strict requirements for organic farming. Only then can control bodies certify the organic food with the well-known EU organic seal.

Laws of the European Union determine which requirements must at least be met for a food to be called organic, namely:

• that it comes from ecologically controlled cultivation

• has not been genetically modified and was manufactured without the use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers.

• Organic products must also not be exposed to ionizing radiation and fewer food additives are permitted (only around 50 instead of over 300).

• Organic food may contain up to five percent non-organic ingredients.

• Although the law allows the seeds for organic varieties to be taken from conventional production, the producers of the organic farming associations strictly reject this.

• The growing of plants, from which organic seeds are later obtained, instead takes place on areas that are free of chemicals.

• The seeds must not be treated with chemical agents after harvesting.
