Code of Practice for organic food processing - ProOrg Guidelines for Consumer Communication

Summary

While food additives permitted for organic processing are largely regulated within the EU organic regulation, this is not the case for food processing technologies. This Code of Practice is supposed to guide processors in their choice for the most suitable processing methods for organic food. For this purpose, an assessment framework and management guidelines have been developed. As a third component, these communication guidelines focus on the interaction with consumers. They give an idea of how to deal with consumers’ expectations on food processing.
