**5. Organic seal of certification**

For food to be labeled as organic, it must undergo a certification procedure supervised by a notified agency. The primary function of the notifying body is to ensure that the entire production system conforms to the regulatory bodies' normative requirements. For example, the institutions in charge of regulating this type of agriculture are the USDA in the United States, the European Community Council in Europe, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock [11], and Supply in Brazil. Once certified, the "organic" product must receive the certification seal of each country on its label, assuring the buyer of its legitimacy and dependability.
