subject: What Does A Seal Of Approval From The Soil Association Mean? [print this page] Rainforest Foods is fully certified by the Soil Association, but who are the Soil Association and what does it mean to have this seal of approval from them? The Soil Association is a charitable organisation which promotes planet-friendly food and farming through education, campaigns and community programmes. They pioneered the first organic standards way back in 1967 and their objective today is to lobby for the UK to be 100% organic by 2050. These stringent standards mean that when you see the Soil Association symbol, you can trust that your food (or food supplement) has been produced sustainably, in harmony with nature and is as organic as possible
Organic farming is kind to the planet, has the highest animal welfare standards and ensures that the food we eat is rich in nutrients. As consumer interest in eating organically has increased, this has resulted in there being more products labelled organic on the shelves than ever before. Its important that we are able to trust this organic label, to know that our organic products have truly organic origins and productions processes, and that goes just as much for food supplements as it does meat, fruit and vegetables. Choosing a product that bears the Soil Association logo is a simple way to ensure that the product is certified organic.
Rainforest Foods only sells products that are pure, free from binders, fillers and additives and that are, wherever possible, organic. For instance, the Maca powder and Maca capsules available from Rainforest Foods are all certified organic by the Soil Association themselves, as are the Wheatgrass and Barley grass supplements. This means you can trust that the food supplements that you take are 100% organic, backed by the charity that has the strictest standards in this arena and are as kind to you as they are to the planet.
