ORGANIC CERTIFICATION

UNFI Canada is proud to be certified as an Organic Handler under the Canadian Organic Regime. Our certifier for 2023 is Quality Assurance International (QAI), a US based certifier that operates internationally and is authorized to provide certification services under the Canada Organic Regime (COR).

What does this mean for you - our customer? Being certified as an Organic Handler gives you the assurance that we have properly identified products in our catalogue as Organic, and that these products are acceptable under the Canadian Organic Products Regulation.

As a COH (Certified Organic Handler), UNFI Canada is restricted in the use of the term “Organic”. Only products that carry a third party certificate recognized under the COR and that meet the criteria of a minimum of 95% certified organic ingredients are identified as Organic in our catalogue.

As a part of our audit trail, UNFI Canada is required to maintain a current copy of each manufacturer’s organic certificate on file which clearly outlines the products that qualify as Organic. These files are checked and updated on a regular basis and database adjustments are made as required. Copies of certification documents are available upon request.
