New European logo for foodstuffs packaging.

New European rules of organic labelling came into effect on July 1st.

This new European organic logo, "Eurofeuille” constituted by white stars on a green bottom is going to appear in all foodstuffs packaging made in European Union, not compulsory for imported or not packed products.

Mention of the Place where are obtained ingredients and code of the organism in charge of controls become compulsory. National or regional indicators are kept. In France, the same product can be label by AB and "Eurofeuille”.

The various operators have 2 years to set up this new visual identity on products.
