The National Organic Program Conducts Canadian Site Visit

The Canada-US Organic Equivalency Agreement has been in effect since June 30th, 2009.

One of the conditions of this agreement, is an on-site evaluation of respective organic regimes by both parties.

The goal is to determine whether appropriate controls are in place to ensure that organic certification is carried out as prescribed by the arrangement. The NOP (National Organic Program) visited Canada from September 23 to October 01, 2010 for the evaluation of the Canadian Organic Regime. The Canadian Organic Office peer review at NOP offices is planned for the week of November 8th, 2010.
