Conventional (Natural) Granulated Coconut Sugar — Bulk
Direct answer
What is conventional (natural) granulated coconut sugar, and when should I specify it?
Conventional (natural) granulated coconut sugar is the tier to specify when your label makes no organic claim. It is held to the full specification below — moisture < 3.0%, ash max 2.0%, and limits for metals and micro-organisms — and ships in a 25 kg PP/kraft bag with inner PE liner, with a minimum order of 1 pallet (1.5 metric tons).
It belongs to bulk coconut sugar, factory-direct.

Side-by-side comparison
| Your product | Conventional (natural) fits? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Sold with no organic claim on the label | Yes | The tier only matters where a label makes an organic claim |
| An ingredient in a finished food that makes no organic claim | Yes | No organic claim on the finished food, so no organic certificate is needed for the sugar |
| An ingredient in a food sold as organic | Check first | A food sold as organic needs at least 95% organic agricultural ingredients (US eCFR and EUR-Lex, as read 1 November 2026: US 7 CFR 205.301(b); EU Regulation 2018/848 Art. 30(5)(a)(ii)); your certifier decides whether a conventional ingredient fits the rest |
| Sold on a retail shelf as organic | No | An organic claim needs certification under the organic scheme of the market you sell in |
“Natural” here is the name of the tier, nothing more. It is not a claim about farming, and it never stands in for organic.
