The
Ingredients
We start with the finest
ingredients available to produce an outstanding range of products.
Organic ingredients
are an extremely high priority and will continue to rate as
the highest importance for any new ingredients used. Absolutely
none of our ingredients are from genetically modified or engineered
sources. All our ingredients are sourced within Australia,
with the two exceptions of Whey Protein Concentrate (New Zealand)
and Spirulina (Hawaii). Growth in the Australian Organic Industry
is expected to increase by 50% over the next five years.

Farmers of Australia Co-operative Ltd (BFA)
is Australia’s largest and leading certification agency
for organic and biodynamic production. Over the last three
years A.G.M. Foods Pty. Ltd. has been in contact with BFA.
A.G.M.'s fermentation process has been certified as organic.
This means A.G.M.'s cultures are naturally produced and are
definitely not genetically modified. A.G.M. Foods Pty. Ltd.
is working towards a total organic certification for all products.
There are a few ingredients not available organically in the
marketplace but we are constantly working on it. Ingredients
that are organically certified are also free of genetic engineering.
What is
Organic & Biodynamic
Organic Agriculture is about farming without the addition
of artificial chemicals whilst proactively managing the biologically-based
farming system to prevent pest and disease problems whilst achieving
optimum yields. Artificial chemicals are chemically processed
or manufactured inputs and not allowed under the national standard.
Rock phosphate is acceptable on an organic farm for example,
but superphosphate is not. Only natural chemicals allowed within
the national standards for organic production can be used on
organic farms. These chemicals are generally naturally-occurring
and are friendly to soil organic levels and soil biological
activity.
