Must-Know Spanish Phrases for Shopping in Spain: How do I ask if an item is organic or fresh

To ask if an item is organic or fresh, you can use simple, direct questions depending on the context:

For asking if an item is organic:

  • “Is this organic?”
  • “Is this item certified organic?”
  • “Is this grown organically?”
  • “Does this product have an organic certification?”

For asking if an item is fresh:

  • “Is this fresh?”
  • “How fresh is this?”
  • “When was this harvested/produced?”
  • “Is this locally sourced and fresh?”

If you are at a store or market, you can also ask to see organic certification or labels. For fresh produce, looking for a Price Look-Up (PLU) code that starts with a 9 usually means it’s organic. Fresh items often come from local or recent harvests, so asking about the source or harvest date helps verify freshness.

In summary:

  • For organic: “Is this organic?” or “Is this certified organic?”
  • For fresh: “Is this fresh?” or “When was this harvested?”

These questions help clarify whether the item meets your criteria for organic or fresh food.
