Organic Food Label

In Canada, for a food to be labelled as organic or bear the organic logo, the organic content must be “greater than or equal to 95%”. Under CFIA rules, “terms such as “organically grown”, “organically raised, “organically produced”, or similar words, abbreviations of, symbols for and phonetic renderings of these words are considered the same as “organic” claims and must meet the same requirements “. Claims of 100% organic is not permitted in Canada.

SAIFood

SAIFood (Sustainable Agricultural Innovation & Food) launched in the early spring of 2015 under the leadership of Dr. Stuart Smyth, at the University of Saskatchewan. Because research isn’t written for the kitchen table, SAIFood breaks it down current issues or research surrounding food and agriculture and repackages as a blog so you know what is happening within agricultural policy and research, agri-food innovation, regulation and sustainability. Our SAIFood goal is to make information digestible.
