Choosing the right label

It is becoming increasingly complicated to navigate through all the different labels. Here are some recommendations to enable you to choose a high-quality label in relation to the health impact.
Choosing the label that meets my concerns

An organic label provides information on consumed food. An eco-friendly product provides information on the impact of products on nature and is not a guarantee of harmlessness.

Other “multiple criteria” labels focus on the life cycle of a product and its impact on the environment, health, energy, social and societal aspects, etc. Compromises may therefore be made in respect of some of these.

A health impact label must answer certain questions.
Ask yourself the right questions.

Is the label in front of me:
Clear. About what the label means and how the rating has been arrived at.

Transparent. With respect to the analysis procedures and its undertakings.

Verified. Are the test results verified by random analyses?

Complete. Do the analyses take all factors into account?

Independent. Of customers, service providers and lobbyists or interest groups.

Certified. By reputable international bodies.
Is the quality 100% guaranteed?

Do not compromise where your health is concerned!

Does the label indicate to me that the product is “one of the best in its category”, or does it give a scientific rating, without compromise and based on the most stringent standards?

Some labels guarantee that products are “organic” if 95% of the product is organic. Others are based on acceptable proportions. Others do not carry out checks, etc.

Choose a label that promises no compromises and gives undertakings.
“Indoor Air Controlled” naturally undertakes to satisfy you on all these points. Consult all the undertakings given by the label here.
