As the appetite for organic products increases, it is important to understand which disinfectant and detergent products can be used in this environment, as recommended by the Soil Association.

The Soil Association standards put the principles of organic production into practice. These organic standards encompass EU Regulations 834/2007, 889/2008 and 1235/2008. These regulations were the legal basis for the control of organic farming, food processing and organic labelling within the EU until 31st December 2021 and have been retained in the UK for implementation in Great Britain (GB), as set out in The Organic Production and Control (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. 

Operators based in Northern Ireland (NI) should use EU standards which are available on the Association’s website. The Soil Association has higher organic standards than required by the GB Organic Regulations in key areas: delivering the highest levels of animal welfare, protecting human and animal health, safeguarding the environment and protecting the interests of organic consumers. 

To help our customers who farm organically, we have created a guide outlining which Evans products contain the ingredients which are approved by the Soil Association for use in organic farming.
