Canadian Organic Grower's Guide to Canadian Organic Standards

To label a product with the Canada Organic logo, producers are required, by law, to follow the Canadian Organic Standards. These apply whether growing vegetables, raising laying hens or processing convenience food. The standards, however, can be challenging to read, but it is critical that producers understand these documents. That’s where COG’s Guide to the Canadian Organic Standards comes in. The goal is to help readers understand the standards, explain what the standards mean and the reasoning behind them, sometimes provide background information or give examples that are relevant to producers and help operators applying the standards.
