IOA have developed private standards for the Certification of Organic Catering Establishments. These standards apply to cafés, pubs, restaurants, takeaways and other public and private caterers who prepare organic food out of sight of the customer. We offer three types of certification:
- 70% - 100% organic restaurant – where a minimum of 70% of your ingredients are certified organic
- organic dish – multi-ingredient dishes, for example ‘organic lasagne’, where the dish complies with the composition requirements Section 6 of the Organic Food and Farming Standards in Ireland Edition 1.
- organic menu item – where you serve organic menu items alongside non-organic components, for example ‘organic steak served alongside non-organic vegetables’.
