From 1 July, look for the “identity card” when buying organic products”

    Following a four-month transition period, China's Implementation Rules for Organic Product Certification (hereinafter referred to as the Rules) will come into full effect on 1 July. When purchasing organic products, consumers should look out for the certification mark and code, and can also use the code to check the origin online...
According to relevant regulations, organic products manufactured and sold 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. It is equivalent to the product's “electronic ID card.” Consumers can use the code on the “National Organic Product Certification Mark Filing Management System” (http://food.cnca.cn) to verify the authenticity of the product and the corresponding organic product certification certificate, certified product, and manufacturing enterprise. 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, the consumer 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 must not be sold on the mainland market of China as organic products.文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/en/11384/
