The list of substances acceptable in organic farming now has 39 new entries. The new products are authorized for use for different purposes such as basic substances (like vinegar) to be used as plant production products, selenised yeast as a feed additive, wood fibre as a processing aid and gellan gum as a food additive. In parallel, the Regulation allows for further clarification and simplification of the current legislation in organic aquaculture (use of juveniles), on seaweed production (spirulina’s production rules) and in organic wine (use of certain oenological practices).
