Bio Suisse

About this Standard

Bio Suisse is the Swiss organic market’s private label and the owner of the registered trademark Bud. Its standards are private law guidelines and exceed the minimum legal requirements in essential respects (EU Regulation 834/2007 or equivalent).

For operations outside of Switzerland, as a prerequisite for the BIOSUISSE ORGANIC certification, a farming, processing or trading operation must already be in possession of a valid organic certification according to EU organic regulations or equivalent legislation.

Why choose this Standard?

Swiss organic products have a market share of more than 10% of food purchased by consumers.

The Bio Suisse program is based on an importer in Switzerland requesting Bio Suisse certification from their suppliers. The certification process can only be started one an importer makes such a request to the Bio Suisse team. In case you have the requirement, Control Union is a certification body that has concluded a cooperation agreement with Bio Suisse to conduct inspections.
