How do we know that is organic just because of a stamp on it? Who actually checking physically if the food is grown without pesticides. How do they know?
Organic certification is a stringent process that requires producers and processors to adhere to a strict set of standards that go above and beyond all of the applicable food safety laws. These include: use of land that has been free of synthetic chemicals and fertilizers for at least 3 years. detailed record-keeping and regular audits, which means full food traceability - everything that goes into an organic product has to be documented and traceable. routine on-site inspections by accredited organic certification bodies overseen by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
