Questions about Under the Nile
Is Under the Nile GOTS certified?
This directory reports only what the public record shows. The row above gives the GOTS licence number found for Under the Nile, the body that issued it, the scope it covers and the date it expires — or says that no record was found. A brand absent from the public database is not proven uncertified; it is unconfirmed, and that is a different thing.
How current is this?
The claim was read on the date shown above; the GOTS database was re-read on September 6, 2026, and each scheme record on this page carries its own read date beside its link. A GOTS scope certificate expires: the row gives the expiry date so the finding can be checked against today rather than against the day it was gathered.
What was read, and where
Every finding on this page cites the exact page it was read from for Under the Nile (a brand page), each with the date it was read beside it. Certificate numbers, scopes and expiry dates come from the scheme's own record, and each record carries the date it was read beside its link below; each claim comes from the brand's own site and carries its own read date on the card. Nothing is inferred from one to the other.
