Certified Organic Production at The Melbourne Food Depot

Why is The Melbourne Food Depot Moving Towards 100% Certified Organic Products?
The Melbourne Food Ingredient Depot has seen many changes through its life. The growth and demand for certified organic ingredients has grown over the last seven years to a point where conventional products are now fighting for shelf space. This has been mainly driven by the growing awareness of our consumers for organically certified products.

Being certified as an organic processor by OGA confirms our commitment to the organic charter. We are the final person in the chain who supplies the customer. This customer has the confidence of knowing that throughout the entire production of the product that:
1. The grower is certified
2. The producer is certified
3. The processor/seller Melbourne Food Depot is certified.

Why Choose Organic?
The good thing about this question is we are answering it less and less. People are aware that organic farming methods rely on a modern and scientific understanding of ecology and soil science, while also depending on traditional methods of crop rotation to ensure fertility and weed/pest control. These practices do not use harmful chemicals on the environment resulting in a sustainable system that we can pass onto future generations. Organic is good for the soil, the animals, the environment and us.

What you get in your purchase?
Nothing but what you want. Standards to achieve organic certification are internationally recognized and are assured through annual audits of all certified operators by an independent third party. This is the only way you as a consumer can be assured you are purchasing real organic products, produced without the use of synthetic chemicals and GMO free, is to purchase products which have been organically certified with OGA.
