Do you know the difference between green food, organic food and pollution-free food?

Abstract: is green food, organic food and pollution-free food a kind of food?

In our daily life, we often hear about "organic food", "pollution-free food", "green food" and so on, but few people can make a clear distinction between these foods and which kind of food is more environmentally friendly and healthier. Some people may think that the organic and inorganic here are the organic and inorganic substances in chemistry. In fact, it is not. There is still a big difference between them. Let's take a look at what is organic food. Whether it contains carbon can become an organic product.

What is organic food?

Organic food refers to the agricultural and sideline products and their processed products certified by relevant national institutions according to the international operating rules, without adding any chemical agents (chemical fertilizers, pesticides, chemical regulators, etc.) in accordance with the standards of the organic production system, without using genetic engineering means, and without using anything outside the production system, which are processed in accordance with organic food processing rules and certified by relevant national institutions. Including grain, vegetables, dairy products, honey, aquatic products, seasonings and so on.

So the organic here is not the "organic" that contains carbon in chemistry or organic matter. So what contains carbon is not necessarily organic products, or organic food. Pollution-free food refers to safe food produced in accordance with corresponding technical standards, in line with general health standards and certified by relevant departments.

There is no stipulation that chemical fertilizers, pesticides, genetic engineering and other means can not be used. Generally speaking, pollution-free should be the most basic requirement for food. Green food is the transition stage from pollution-free food to organic food, which is mainly divided into two grades, namely A grade and AA grade. Class An allows limited use of synthetic materials such as chemicals and pesticides that do not affect health, while level AA requires relatively strict requirements, stipulating that chemical synthetic pesticides, fertilizers and other substances harmful to the environment and health cannot be used, but there are no restrictions on genetic engineering and radiation technology.

What are the certified organic foods at present?

The requirements of organic food processing and production are very strict, and the certification process is numerous, so the food that can obtain organic certification should have the highest safety index on the market at present. According to information, at present, foods that have passed organic certification include organic crop products (vegetables, fruits, grains, etc.), organic edible fungus products, organic aquatic products, organic animal husbandry products, and products processed with the above products as raw materials. The most sold in the market are tea, rice, vegetables and so on.

How to distinguish organic food?

Generally, there is an organic certification pattern on the organic certified food packaging, which is composed of three parts, the periphery is round, the middle seed pattern is surrounded by circular lines. In the circle, there are the words "Chinese organic products" in Chinese and English; organic food is generally produced in the organic system, or wild and pure natural; in addition, it can be judged according to whether chemicals are added in the production process.

The production and certification of organic food has a very complete, standardized and strict system, so it is not easy to be certified as organic food. It is conceivable that the price of organic food is relatively high, and the circulation in the market may not be particularly large.
