How can you tell it's organic

It is not possible to prove just by looking at it or by testing whether food is organic. That is why inspection during production is so important.

It is illegal to offer for sale any food as organic unless it has been produced in full conformity with the EC Regulation by registered producers. So the use of the word 'organic' on the label or by the shopkeeper is your guarantee that it has been organically produced.
