OFC Blog on the prohibition of the claim “Certified Organic”

Intraprovincial regulations will put an end to the confusion around the organic claim

OFC summarized the comments received on their blog and prepared a position paper on the need for intraprovincial regulations to put an end to the confusion around organic claims. This paper will be presented to each provincial government, in an effort to convince provincial governments to implement internal organic regulations.

The OFC Board stated that the objective is to have one seamless standard from coast to coast, with CFIA and the provinces having the capacity to decide on various ways of monitoring the internal organic market, as the agricultural sector is accustomed to asymmetrical arrangements in the management and monitoring of its activities.
