Organic Regime
Ottawa, December 22, 2006 - The Honourable Chuck Strahl, Minister of Agriculture and
Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board, announced final publication of the Organic
Products Regulations that will protect consumers against false organic claims and
will govern the use of a new Canada Organic logo.
Phased in over the next two years, the Canada Organic logo will be
permitted for use only on those food products certified as meeting the revised Canadian
standard for organic production and that contain at least 95 percent organic ingredients.
Following this phase-in period, it will be mandatory that all organic products be
certified for interprovincial and international trade. |
