Certifications and guarantees - Yarrah

Yarrah organic petfood is certified and guaranteed by the following organizations:

Skal/ EKO

Skal/ EKO More and more producers want you to believe their products are organic. The only way to be absolutely sure that a product is organic, is to look for a hallmark on the packaging. In the Netherlands this is the EKO hallmark. Whenever this hallmark is allocated to a product, the organic origin of that product is guaranteed. Skal is the only independent international inspection organisation for the organic production in the Netherlands that can grant permission to use the EKO hallmark. In order to gain permission to use the EKO hallmark all organic producers, farmers as well as processors, are constantly supervised and checked upon by control authorities from Skal. Because of these extensive measures of control and supervision, the quality and organic origin of all EKO products is absolutely guaranteed. Skal is part of the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature Preservation and Fishing.
