The Organic Cuisine Label
A guide to organic eateries
The Organic Cuisine Label is a free state-controlled Danish labelling scheme for eateries. The Organic Cuisine Label shows the total share (in %) of organic raw ingredients and beverages used in preparing the entire menu. Both public and private eateries can be certified under the Organic Cuisine Label scheme.
The Organic Cuisine Label is available in three versions; Gold (90-100 pct. organics), Silver (60-90 pct. organics) and Bronze (30-60 pct. organics).
Denmark has a long tradition of having a public food control system - from “farm to fork”. This is essential to the high confidence that consumers have in the organic control system and organic products.
A popular and well-known organic label
Displayed by 3.500 Danish eateries like cafés, restaurants and public kitchens, the Organic Cuisine Label is becoming increasingly popular, and this is only expected to increase in the coming years.
The positive development is ascribable, in part, to the ever-higher food quality standards expected by the Danes. They want pure ingredients produced with due consideration for the natural world, the environment and the animals.
It is not only professional kitchens in Denmark that have developed a taste for the Organic Cuisine Label. After several years of preparation, Germany is ready to implement the Danish dining labeling scheme, making it easier for German consumers to find eateries that offer organic food.
