What Does ACO Certification Guarantee?
When a product is ACO certified, it means:
No Synthetic Chemicals
Certified organic products are grown and produced without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers, GMOs or irradiation.
No Artificial Additives
Organic standards restrict artificial colours, flavours, preservatives and processing aids - keeping food closer to its natural state.
Responsible Farming Practices
ACO certification supports farming methods that protect:
- Soil health
- Biodiversity
- Waterways
- Animal welfare
Organic farming is about working with nature, not against it.
Why “Certified” Matters (Not Just “Organic”)
In Australia, the word organic can appear on packaging without certification. This makes certification incredibly important.
Certified organic means:
- Claims are legally backed
- Standards are enforced
- Consumers are protected from greenwashing
If it’s not certified, there’s no guarantee it meets organic standards - even if it looks or sounds organic.

Does Certified Organic Really Taste Better?
Many people say yes - and there’s a reason for that.
Healthier soils produce healthier crops. Organic farming focuses on soil nutrition and balance, which often results in:
- Richer flavours
- Better texture
- Higher nutrient density
When food is grown the way nature intended, it shows in every bite.
