Bio Suisse (Gemma) – Switzerland<\/strong>, certifies agricultural and livestock products, processed products for human consumption and promotes the export of organic products to Switzerland.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [blank_spacer height=”85px” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_text_block title=”INFORMATIONS” pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” el_class=”info” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

\"\"Bio-Suisse<\/a> is a non-profit organization<\/strong> that represents the interests of Swiss producers and licensees of the “gemma” brand.<\/p>\n

Bio Suisse, for many years, has developed specific directives for organic products marketed in the Swiss market and has registered the trademark “gemma\/Bio-Suisse”<\/strong> which distinguishes the products.
\nThe Bio-Suisse directives are more stringent than the minimum legal requirements set by European and Swiss standards for organic production.<\/p>\n

In order to be able to export Bio-Suisse branded products to Switzerland, you must first establish a collaboration relationship with a potential Swiss importer<\/strong>, as this can only become the licensee of Bio Suisse and mark the products with the “Gemma” brand.
\nCoop Swiss and other major Swiss distribution chains<\/strong> identify organic products under the “Gemma” brand and only buy products that comply with Bio-Suisse guidelines.<\/p>\n

In order to promote the dissemination of the standard and the brand, Biosuisse has established collaboration relationships with European control bodies<\/strong> so that compliance with the Bio-Suisse directives can be verified by the same control body that already certifies the company for what concerns the Reg. CE 834\/07.
\nICEA<\/strong> is a body authorized by ICBAG to check<\/strong> the compliance of the products with the Bio-Suisse<\/a><\/strong> directives.<\/p>\n
