The food must not contain artificial flavours, colours, flavour enhancements, or preservatives. It should not include genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Organic products are preferred for many reasons. Some consumers prefer organic products for the taste. Other people prefer them because organic produce is more nutritious. Still others believe organic farming is better for the environment. Non-organic products are often chosen because they do not pose ethical issues regarding the treatment of farm workers or animals.

One factor is the availability land suitable for organic agricultural. Another factor is the price of inputs as well as labour for organic farming. Other factors include transportation costs, marketing costs, and taxes. In Europe, for example, organic food prices are 10% more than regular food.
