The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) have jointly developed a “Unified India Organic” logo to replace the India Organic and Jaivik Bharat logos.

• The new logo has been developed to bring uniformity and convergence in the implementation of Indian regulations by the National Programme for Organic Products (NPOP) and FSSAI.
• The India Organic logo was used on organic products complying with the NPOP, while Jaivik Bharat was used on organic products certified by FSSAI.
• The certification bodies will get three months of transition time for implementation which will be given from the date the logo is notified.
• FSSAI is an autonomous statutory body established under the Food Safety and Standards Act, of 2006.
  • It is responsible for protecting and promoting public health by regulating food safety and quality in India, operating under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare.
• APEDA functions under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and is responsible for export promotion and development of the scheduled products viz. fruits, vegetables and their products etc.
