We believe in organic food production and have built our business around this belief.
Bio-Distributors has been certified as an organic wholesaler by Australian Certified Organic (ACO) (formerly Biological Farmers of Australia) since 1992. To maintain our certification we undergo a rigorous annual audit inspection involving record keeping, audit trails of products and many other aspects of our operation to ensure the integrety of the products we sell as certified organic.
The vast majority the products we sell are certified organic. We DO NOT carry the same product in both certified organic and non certified and in general prefer not to carry a product which is not certified organic. There are a few exceptions but there is generally a good reason for us doing so. The organic status of our products is clearly stated in the certification column on each of the product listing pages. See below for the abbreviations used for the organic certifying bodies that certify the products we sell.

We are certified by ACO to repack certified organic products under our label and apply the ACO logo so long as the original certifying body is recognised by ACO
For certified product that we repack, the repacked product carries the ACO certification (if applicable) rather than that of the original certifying body. The reason for this is that a product loses its original certification when it is repacked. On the price list this shows when the outer carton carries a different certification to a repacked quantity. This can be seen frequently on our nuts page and on our dried fruit page.
We are certified by the Biodynamic Research Institute to repack and apply the Demeter logo so those products retain their original certification.
