5 Overview
Bio Suisse is the umbrella organization of Swiss organic farmers, operating one of the STRICTEST organic standards in the world [1]. Bio Suisse standards exceed both EU and USDA organic requirements: stricter limits on purchased feed, complete farm conversion required (no partial organic), higher biodiversity requirements, restrictions on air freight of ingredients (environmental commitment), and prohibition of certain substances allowed under EU/USDA organic [1]. The Bio Suisse 'Bud' logo (a green bud/leaf) is the most recognized organic mark in Switzerland and commands premium pricing. For supplements using Swiss-sourced botanical ingredients, Bio Suisse represents the highest available organic standard [1].
