Organically-grown.......

There are international principles and standards governing organics, which can be accessed through the following links:

We subscribe to the IFOAM organic principles of health, ecological awareness, fairness and care towards the environment, people and communities. No synthetic pesticides or herbicides were used in growing our organic products. The products are conscientiously stored and not chemically treated during storage.

In South Africa, farmers and manufacturers have the opportunity to have themselves “certified organic”: http://www.organicsouthafrica.co.za//Certifiers.html

”Organically-grown” is first and foremost an ethical value statement and it benefits the consumer to inform themselves about the values a company / farm endorses to evaluate their organic status for themselves. Ask questions and request transparency!
