  • Single living species of documented age and freshness
  • Documented physical and nutritional quality
  • Traceable from end use to documented sustainable source
  • Fulfill regulatory compliance for global markets

European Biodynamic Standards

European Biodynamic Standards

Seagreens® was Europe’s first organically certified ‘ocean-to-table’ seaweed producer in 1998.

In 2004 Seagreens® were also approved to European Biodynamic Standards (the UK Biodynamic Agricultural Association) for use in Biodynamic and Organic foods and farming systems.

In 2007 Biodynamic approval was extended to the United States of America under Biodynamic® and NOP Organic Standards.

Biodynamic Agricultural Association: Registration Number 398


Certified Organic

Certified Organic

The Biodynamic standards are like an "organic plus" certification in that the standards are higher than regular organic standards.

Seagreens® are therefore fully certified organic by the UK Biodynamic Agricultural Association and Seagreens® Seagreens human food standards surpass EU 834/2007, 889/2008, 710/2009 regulations.


Certificate of Analysis

Seagreens® seaweed harvests regularly undergo scientific analyses to check for toxins and contaminants.

All Seagreens ingredients have a certificate of analysis that shows all results for contaminants/toxicity/microbiological/allergens and nutrition are within Seagreens specification and EU regulations.

This is your assurance that Seagreens® products are free of harmful PCBs, organotins, organophosphates, aromatic hydrocarbons, toxic metal pollutants like arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury and other toxic metals, and pathogenic bacteria like coliforms, e.coli, enterobacteria, moulds, rubella, staphylococcus aureus, salmonella and vibrio species.

Every harvested batch is independently tested for allergens, pollutants, contaminants, and key marker nutrients which upholds Seagreens unique standard of nutritional value and purity.

Most seaweed is allergenic because of the crustacea normally included. However as part of the Kosher certification process, Seagreens® is certified allergen free.

This is particularly important for special diets, mothers in pregnancy and children.
