Differences Between Organic, 'Natural' and Good Agricultural Practices

'Natural' is not a legally defined and audited certificate; it is often used for marketing. Organic, however, is an official system certified under strict rules such as bans on synthetic chemicals and GMOs.

Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) does not ban chemical use entirely but aims for traceable, controlled production. It is more flexible than organic; the two serve different purposes.

In short, a product saying 'natural' does not make it organic. The reliable measure is the organic logo and certificate of an authorized body.
