Canadian Organic Standards

Canadian Organic Standards are rules that ensure organic products in Canada are grown, processed, and handled according to consistent, environmentally responsible practices. They prohibit synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, genetic modification, and artificial preservatives, emphasizing natural methods to maintain healthy soils, biodiversity, and animal welfare. These standards provide a framework for certification bodies to verify that products labeled as organic truly meet the criteria, giving consumers confidence in the authenticity and integrity of organic foods and products.
