The use of an organic designation is strictly reserved for agricultural food and products originating from organic agriculture, either in whole or in part.
Organic products marketed in Quebec must comply with certain labeling rules, thus making it easy for consumers to distinguish organic from conventional products.
In order to verify the authenticity of any agrifood product having packaging or labels that mention the term "organic," one of its synonyms or abbreviations (legible on one of the main labels or panels, or simply within its list of ingredients), you should:
- Look for the certified by mention followed by the name of a certifying body that monitored this product, inscribed in a clear and easily detected manner on the packaging or label,
- Verify that the certifying body mentioned has been approved by the CARTV.
Refer to the list of certifiers.
