Good for You, Good for Our Earth

Many people are wondering how to be sure a product really is organic when it claims it is organic. As of June 30, 2009, the Organic Products Regulations require mandatory certification to the revised National Organic Standard for agricultural products represented as organic in international and inter-provincial trade, or that bear the federal organic agricultural product legend (or federal logo). This means if a products states it is Certified Organic- it has to contain at least 95% organic ingredients.  One way to be sure is to look for the new organic logo pictured above. If you are still unsure, you can click here to find a list certified organic bodies providing services under the Canadian Organic Regime. Bottom line: if a product does not carry the logo or is not listed, then they do not meet the Canadian standards.
