Cancelled organic certifications

All organic certification holders under the Canada Organic Regime are required to comply with the Safe Food for Canadians Act and regulations.

Non-compliance with any of the above requirements can result in the cancellation of the holder's certification. An operator with a cancelled organic certification listed in the table below cannot market the products listed on their certificate as organic. Any attempt to sell non-organic product as organic is considered a violation of the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) and is subject to Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) enforcement actions.

A cancelled operator who wishes to be reinstated must apply as a new applicant, go through the entire certification process and meet all SFCR requirements. The Certification Body (CB) must respect SFCR subsection 344 (3) time of application when making certification decisions.

The list of Cancelled organic certifications includes operators cancelled in the last 5 years, after which, the cancelled operators are permanently removed from the organics webpage. CBs who wish to reinstate a cancelled operator who is no longer listed below still must notify the COR and do so in accordance with subsection 344 (3) of the SFCR.
