Why Choose Organics?
Quite simply, certified organic is your guarantee of
purity of product and integrity of company.
We, at Ulew Natural Products, LLC, are proud that the
product range we offer bears the seal of approval by Australia's
leading organic certifier, the Biological Farmers of Australia.
The BFA sets and maintains stringent quality standards that
either comply with or exceed international requirements.
To obtain organic certification for a product, a minimum of
95% of all ingredients of agricultural origin must be certified
organic. The remaining 5% of ingredients however are also bound
by strict guidelines. They are, for example, not permitted to be
synthetic chemicals or artificially processed ingredients.
The benefits of certified organic products and
processes:
- Independent third-party guarantee of quality, and purity
of ingredients.
- Safe, clean and potent plant extracts of high vitality.
- Sustainable agriculture that respects, supports and
nurtures the complete ecology and energy of our planet.
- Authenticity and integrity of organic and natural
claims.
- Prevention of damage to the environment and humans by
the poisonous chemicals used in conventional agriculture.
While 'natural' and 'organic' claims abound, the only way you
can be sure is by using a fully certified organic range of
products.
Many may claim to use organic ingredients, but none have
achieved third party independent certification.
Five Benefits of
Choosing Certified Organic:
-
Good for
the soil
Organic systems rely
on a modern and scientific understanding
of ecology and soil science, while also
depending on traditional methods of crop
rotations to ensure fertility and weed
and pest control.
-
Good for
the environment
Organic systems aim
to reduce dependence on non-renewable
resources. Organic production aims at
all times towards sustainability whilst
having best management of the
environment and wildlife as a priority.
-
Good for
people
Organic based
ingredients have been shown in a number
of studies to contain more vitamins,
nutrients and cancer-fighting
antioxidants than non-organic
ingredients.
-
No
synthetic chemicals
Organic systems
prohibit the use of artificial
chemicals, pesticides and fertilisers.
-
No GMO's
Certified Organic
products are produced without GMOs,
which are prohibited in the standards
for organic food and farming.
What Is
Organic?
Certified Organic
products are grown and processed without the
use of synthetic chemicals, fertilisers, or
GMO's*(see definition below). It is an
innovative method of farming and production
and is increasingly being recognised as
being on the leading edge of food and fibre
technology into the future. Organics is not
just chemical free by testing. It is about
the way the product ingredients have been
grown, prepared, processed and packaged. The
whole system is linked;

 |
 |
| Soil |
Plants |
People |
Environment |
Standards to achieve
certification are internationally recognised
and are assured through annual audits of all
certified operators by an independent third
party auditor.
What is a GMO?
A genetically modified
organism (GMO) is a plant, animal or
microorganism whose genetic code has been
altered (subtracted from, or added to either
the same species or a different species) in
order to give it characteristics that it
does not have naturally.
Scientists can now
transfer genes between species that
otherwise would be incapable of mating, for
example, a goat and a spider. This is what
we call transgenesis. Little is known about
the long-term effects of such manipulations
on humans, plants, animals and/or the
environment. And while some see GMO's as the
way to the future, others believe that
scientists have gone too far, tinkering with
the essence of life.
