Our organic guarantee
In order to feature the wording "derived from organic farming", a foodstuff must meet strict organic farming standards including an extensively defined and inspected production method which excludes the use of synthetic chemical products (pesticides, etc) and GMOs (genetically modified organisms).
Following our decision in 1987 to distribute only fruit and vegetables derived from organic farming, we are inspected and certified for all of our sites and activities in France and Africa, by an independent body approved by the public authorities.
ProNatura Provence, ProNatura Méditerranée, ProNatura Bretagne (Brittany), ProNatura Rungis, ProNatura Maroc (Morocco) and ProNatura West Africa are certified by Ecocert.
Additionally, before any product is imported from a country outside the European Union, we request authorisation from the Ministry of Agriculture. This includes acknowledgement that the production and inspection methods are equivalent to those specified in the European regulations.
All of the fruit and vegetables which we produce, purchase, receive, prepare and market offer all of the guarantees associated with organic farming. Before each operation, our Quality department checks all of the documents including the licence, certificates and importation authorisation, etc.
