    Meanwhile in the EU we have an organic label that is if anything too strict, and is absolutely worth buying as opposed to some other random product.

      The EU has done a hell of a good job marketing their organic label. The laws are very similar to the U.S.'s. Their fraud rate is also pretty high as well.

      There are lots of member countries. Some countries follow the rules strictly, others not so much. Premium pricing always attacts fraud.

        it has limits on pesticides and the kind of people who grow organic are likely to actually care about nutritional value, but yes, the label is about sustainable practices.
