Label Guide

Certification bodies inspect and designate farms as “certified organic” based on a set of guidelines meeting or exceeding the minimum requirements set out by the National Organic Standard. No prohibited materials may be used for 3 years prior to certification. Once a farm is certified organic, it labels its food with the name of the certification body or the certification number. At the moment, Canada is developing regulations for organic agriculture which will limit the use of the word “organic” on products and provide a “Canada Organic” logo to be displayed on organic products.   For more information on the Canadian organic standards please visit our Standards page.
