Why Finding ACO Certified Products Is Harder Than It Should Be
Massive Database, Hard to Search
ACO's database contains thousands of operators, but finding a specific product or ingredient supplier requires browsing through operators one by one. There is no way to search across all ACO operators for a specific product type or category.
Multiple Certification Scopes
ACO operators can hold certification across multiple scopes — production, processing, export, and retail. Understanding which scope covers your specific product requires digging into individual certificates and their annexes.
Export Market Complexity
ACO certifies to the Australian Certified Organic Standard (ACOS), which has equivalence with USDA NOP, EU Organic, JAS, and other standards. Determining which ACO operators can export to specific markets means checking individual export endorsements.
Cross-Border Sourcing Gaps
NZ buyers sourcing from Australia need to verify ACO certification meets NZ organic requirements. Searching ACO's database and NZ certifier databases separately is time-consuming and makes it easy to miss compliant suppliers.
Cross-border compliance: AU-NZ organic equivalence is not automatic
While Australia and New Zealand have organic equivalence arrangements, not all ACO certified products automatically qualify for NZ organic labelling. ANZOC helps you navigate these requirements and find ACO operators whose certification covers NZ market access.

Common Questions
How do I check if a product is ACO certified?▼
You can check ACO certification through the ANZOC search database. Search by operator name or product, and ANZOC will show you the certification status, certificate number, and what products are covered under their certification scope. You can also verify directly through the ACO portal at aco.net.au.
What does the ACO Bud logo mean?▼
The ACO Bud logo is Australia's most recognised organic certification mark. It indicates that a product has been certified organic by Australian Certified Organic (ACO) to the Australian Certified Organic Standard (ACOS). The Bud logo can only be displayed on products from operators with current ACO certification. Look for the Bud logo alongside the operator's ACO certificate number for full traceability.
Is ACO certification recognised in New Zealand?▼
Yes. Under the Australia-New Zealand organic equivalence arrangement, ACO certification is recognised in New Zealand. ACO certified products can generally be sold as organic in NZ, though specific labelling requirements may apply. ANZOC helps you understand which ACO certified products meet NZ organic labelling requirements.
What international standards does ACO certification meet?▼
ACO certifies to the Australian Certified Organic Standard (ACOS), which has equivalence arrangements with USDA NOP (United States), EU Organic (Europe), JAS (Japan), and several other international organic standards. This means ACO certified operators can export to these markets as organic, subject to the specific export endorsement on their certificate.
Can I search for specific ACO certified products?▼
Yes. ANZOC's product-level search lets you search for specific products within ACO certified operators. Search for "macadamia oil", "organic beef", or "certified wine" to find all ACO operators that supply that product. This is much faster than browsing the ACO database operator by operator.
