ADVISORY ON UNCERTIFIED AND UNREGISTERED BIO-CONTROL AGENT AND SOIL AMENDMENT PRODUCTS WITH ‘ORGANIC’ CLAIM

The DA-BAFS warns the public of the bio-control agent and soil amendment products being sold and labeled as ‘organic’ through Lazada Philippines that are NOT CERTIFIED ORGANIC by any of the DA-BAFS-accredited Organic Certifying Body (OCB).
 
Since these bio-control agent and soil amendment products are not certified “organic” by any of the DA-BAFS-accredited OCB and are not registered with the DA-BAFS, the organic integrity and efficacy of the product cannot be assured. The use of these products may affect the integrity of organic farms and may pose health risks to consumers.
 
We strongly advise the public not to purchase these uncertified and unregistered bio-control agent and soil amendment products. Likewise, the public is requested to check if a product is certified organic by a DA-BAFS-accredited OCB and registered with the DA-BAFS.
