Why is organic food considered so much healthier than conventional food?
When you eat a plant or animal, you’re also eating whatever has entered that plant or animal’s cells. So when you eat a plant sprayed with a chemical, you may also be eating chemical residues. Artificial sweeteners, preservatives and flavourings simply add to the cocktail.
Organic food is grown using only natural fertilisers and bug deterrents, so there are no chemicals for you to ingest. That helps keep your body toxin-free. It also adds to the nutrious value of the food you’re eating so you get more vitamins and minerals in the same volume of food.
Why is "Certified Organic" so important?
"Organic" is a generic word that can be used to describe any product that contains carbon-based ingredients. So many products can be labelled "organic".
"Certified Organic" means that a product has been audited by an accredited body and complies with all relevant certified organic standards. Every Ozganics product is "Certified Organic"– your guarantee of quality, taste and purity.
How can I be sure if a product is "Certified Organic"?
All "Certified Organic" products have a certification logo and number on the label. This means that every link in the chain, from the farm to the finished product complies with certified organic standards.
Aren’t organic foods more expensive?
Actually, no. Ozganics prices are comparable with other gourmet spreads, dressings and sauces that you’d find in the supermarket. But when you choose Ozganics, you get more vitamins, more minerals and more taste!
Is it harder to cook using organic foods?
No. The only difference is that you will be using vegetables, herbs, meats and fish that haven’t been exposed to chemicals, artifical colours and flavours, hormones or genetically modified organisms.

Do organic foods last as long as conventional foods?
Ozganics products don’t contain artificial preservatives to extend shelf life. However, organic sugars and vitamin C, plus lower water content tend to naturally prolong the shelf life of organic products. The shelf life of all Ozganics products is more than enough for most situation.
Do Ozganics products contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs)?
No. Ozganics adheres to the organic standard which prohibits GMOs of any kind.
Why should I choose Certified Organic food for my children?
Certified organic foods are far better for children than highly processed, chemically-laden, preservative-filled products.
Children have a larger intake of food per kilo than adults. This also means that children can potentially consume more toxins than the average adult.
Toddlers eating organic foods have been found to have less than one-sixth the pesticide residues in their urine compared with children eating conventional foods.
That’s why we recommend organic foods as the healthy choice for your children.
Are organic foods higher in nutrients?
Yes. Reseach has shown that foods grown under a certified organic system are higher in essential nutrients. Organic foods have been shown to contain consistently more vitamin C, calcium , magnesium, chromium and anti-oxidants than conventional foods.
Do organic foods taste as good as other foods?
Organic foods taste better! Organic plants are grown in soil that hasn’t had the natural plant foods leeched out by chemicals and unnatural farming methods. And animals eat only organically-grown feed. Safer, more natural inputs equals tastier, more nutritious food.
