Organic grapes 29 yuan a pound, organic red pepper 18 yuan a pound, a box of organic blueberries can sell for 25 yuan ... Once upgraded to "organic", many vegetables and fruits will double the value. However, illegal businesses have targeted this "business opportunity" and sold "Chinese organic products" online, and said that they can print 10,000 copies for 120 yuan.

    A person in charge of an organic food certification agency in Shanghai said that the labels of organic products sold online are counterfeit and allegedly illegal.


    Phenomenon one


    120 yuan can print 10,000 organic labels


    Yesterday, the reporter typed the words "printed organic labels" on a large website and quickly jumped out of several related product information. Among them, the product picture of a packaging and printing factory in Shanghai is printed with the "Chinese organic product ORGANIC". One staff member said that as long as the customer provides the sample or packaging of the required label, the factory can print it as it is. Take the 1 cm diameter organic product label as an example. If you print 120 yuan, you can print 10,000 sheets. "What kind of print you can print, the logo of the certification body can also be printed," the staff member said.


    Response: Authentic labels are not arbitrarily circulated


    In response to the problem that organic product labels can be printed at will, the person in charge of an organic food certification agency in Shanghai told reporters that the organic product label is not freely distributed, but has a strict application and approval process. The first is to apply for an organic product certified manufacturer to determine the number of organic labels according to a certain percentage based on the actual area production of organic crops. Subsequently, the manufacturer applied to the certification body to customize the anti-counterfeit labels for organic food. After being approved by the certification body, it is responsible for issuing anti-counterfeit labels to the manufacturer under controlled conditions. "In the process of application, approval and production of labels, it is forbidden to circulate in the society." The person in charge said that most of the online products appear to be counterfeit organic product certification labels.


    Phenomenon 2


    A box of organic grapes posted 4 labels


    At Haier Lelian Store and City Supermarket, the reporter randomly purchased a box of organic grapes and several organic bitter melons. Although the labels of these two organic products have the "China Organic Products" logo, the labels are not exactly the same. Among them, the organic grape packaging box is printed with two circular labels of the same size on the upper left side, one of which is the "Chinese Organic Food" certification label, and the other is the company's LOGO. In the lower right of the box, there are two other round labels, one of which is the English logo, and the source is not visible; the other is the logo of the certification body. On the box of organic bitter gourd, the label lists the Chinese organic food certification label and the certification body LOGO.


    Subsequently, the reporter found on the website of the National Certification and Accreditation Administration that the certification bodies for organic grapes and bitter gourds were on the list. However, the reporter also found that there are as many as 26 organizations with organic product certifications listed on the website. The LOGOs of each organization are different, which also leads to the label on the box even for certified organic food. It is also a variety of situations.


    Response: too many labels increase the difficulty of recognition


    The relevant person in charge told the reporter that the "Administrative Measures for the Certification of Organic Products" stipulates that "when the product or product minimum packaging is added with the organic product certification mark, the identification or organization name of the organic product certification body shall be marked in the adjacent part", Therefore, the box must have the "China Organic Product Mark" and the certification body LOGO two logos, the former is used to indicate the organic identity of the product, the latter indicates that the organic product is certified by which of the 26 institutions.
