Logos for British food
Many regional food and drink products are part of assurance schemes that specify the standards to which they are produced.
Looking for the logos and marks associated with these schemes when you are shopping will ensure that you are buying quality produce and that it is fully traceable to the producer.
The four main 'umbrella' assurance schemes are explained below. Additional schemes and quality marks that appear on specific food types are explained on the appropriate page of the British Food Fortnight website.

 - There are a number of organic certification bodies approved by Defra; each has a unique UK code. The main body is the Soil Association, Organic Certification UK5.
- The Soil Association organic logo appears on approximately 70% of organic food produced in UK.
- Legally a certification logo does not have to appear on packaging but it must have a certification code.
- Organic products from EU countries will carry their own certification code.
- Organic products from outside Europe may not have a country specific code in which case the importer can apply for certification from one of the approved bodies. Therefore, a UK code does not necessarily mean produced in UK.
