Starting July 1, look for the “ID card” when buying organic products.”

    After a four-month transition period, China's "Implementation Rules for Organic Product Certification" (hereinafter referred to as the "Rules") will be fully implemented starting July 1. When purchasing organic products, consumers should look for the certification mark, number, and other details, and can also verify the authenticity of products online using the number.
According to relevant management regulations, organic products leaving factories for sale after July 1 will uniformly bear the national organic product certification mark (including the organic conversion product certification mark), a unique number (organic code), and the name of the certification body (label). The organic code is issued by the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China under quota control based on the product quantity and category of certified enterprises, and is equivalent to the product's “electronic ID card.” Consumers can use the number to check the authenticity of the product and the corresponding organic product certification certificate, certified product, and manufacturing enterprise in the “National Organic Product Certification Mark Record-Keeping Management System” (http://food.cnca.cn). As of June 27, organic product certification bodies had cumulatively uploaded approximately 140 million organic product marks. If the product purchased by a consumer is inconsistent with the information queried in the system, they may contact the certification body for verification or call 12365 or 12315 to file a complaint or report with the quality inspection or industry and commerce authorities.
A relevant official of the Certification and Accreditation Administration reminded consumers that organic products currently sold on China's market must pass China's organic product certification and bear labels such as the organic product certification mark and organic code in accordance with the above requirements. Products that only have the organic product certification mark of the European Union or of a certain country but have not obtained China's organic product certification mark may not be sold on the mainland China market as organic products.文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/am/11384/
