In order to use an organic ingredient in your product that is certified outside of Canada, it must meet an equivalency arrangement with the Canada Organic Regime (COR). Products grown in countries outside of Canada that are certified through the United States’ National Organic Program (NOP) will be recognized as being equivalent in Canada, provided they are accompanied by a current organic certification document, as well as a US/Canada Organic Equivalency Arrangement (USCOEA) statement. Products grown in the 28-member states of the EU that are accompanied by a current organic certificate will be recognized as equivalent in Canada under the EUCOEA.
