Regulatory Requirements for Organic Food Production & Certification

Control & Oversight:
Organic food regulation is managed by control bodies and control authorities in Sweden.

Control bodies ensure compliance with organic regulations.
Control authorities (municipal, county, and the Swedish Food Agency) oversee labeling & traceability and report deficiencies to control bodies.
Certification & Compliance:

Food businesses must be registered with the Swedish Food Agency and certified by an accredited control body to produce, label, or sell organic food.
Organic certificates are published on the control body’s website or in Traces NT (EU system for organic certification).
Serious violations may result in a temporary ban on selling organic products.
Legislative Framework:

Regulation (EU) 2018/848 governs organic production & labeling.
The Swedish Food Agency provides national guidance on organic food control.
This framework ensures fair and transparent organic food production, maintaining consumer trust and regulatory compliance.
