3 Validation of Label Designs All label designs intended to be used to market certified organic products must be submitted to Ecocert Canada prior to printing to ensure the organic standard s labelling requirements are met. Ecocert Canada will only verify compliance according to the organic Regulation and standards. The owner of the product is responsible for ensuring that labels meet all other Canadian Regulations (bilingual, nutritional data, weight, category, etc ) During the annual organic inspection, the labels must be available for verification by the inspector. Validation of Label Design Extract from accreditation criteria: 14.4 In order to prevent any inappropriate use of permitted statements and certifier s mark in the labelling and advertising related to certified products, the certification body shall ensure in advance that certified products will be labelled in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Artwork can be sent directly by your graphic designer to: office.canada@ecocert.com. The subject line of the message should read label verification and the (!) symbol should be activated. We suggest that you indicate in the message your deadline and that you check acknowledgement of receipt. You can expect a delay of up to 2 working days for a validation. If you wish to prepare your labels before obtaining certification of your products, you can send the design ahead, however Ecocert Canada will not be held responsible for any printing costs for products that are not certifiable. Approved labels cannot be unless a valid organic certificate has been issued for the product. This service will be invoiced. Only validated labels can be used. Any changes made to labelling following validation must be submitted to Ecocert Canada to ensure that your Organic System Plan is updated. Labelling Guide Version 3 Page 3

4 Use of Ecocert Trademark: Ecocert Canada s clients are authorized to use Ecocert s trademark and logos to market organic products that have been certified by Ecocert Canada. The use of Ecocert s name and logos must not create confusion for the consumer. The following logos belong to Ecocert: When adding a new product or making changes to certified products, the company must wait until the new organic certificate is issued before making the organic claim or using Ecocert Canada s trademark and logos. When certification is not renewed or is refused, suspended, or cancelled, the company must stop any reference to Ecocert Canada s trademark on labels, publicity, website etc. Changes to Labels When labels are found to be non compliant or have not been submitted to Ecocert Canada for validation prior to printing, the owner must: Inform Ecocert Canada of the number of labels on inventory. Inform Ecocert Canada of the expected date of reprint Ensure that the new art work is sent to Ecocert Canada before printing. Depending on the nature of the required changes, Ecocert Canada can: Allow the use of a portion of the incorrect labels. Ask the owner to seek the accreditation body s agreement to use the incorrect labels (The accreditation body might have fees for this service) A copy of the accreditation body s authorization must be sent to Ecocert Canada Require immediate correction and a product withdrawal from the market. Reminder: Changes to verified labels must be communicated to Ecocert. Labelling Guide Version 3 Page 4

5 Organic Labelling Requirements Certification Decision The organic certificate authorizes a reference to Ecocert Canada and to the organic claim only for those products listed on the certificate. The name of the company and the trademark registered on the certificate must be identical to the name and trademark used to market the certified products and identical to the name and trademark declared in the Organic System Plan submitted with the annual registration. When certification is refused, suspended or cancelled, the products cannot refer to Ecocert Canada or to an organic claim on their labels and marketing materials. Ecocert Canada s Licensed Companies A license allows private brand owners to use the Ecocert Canada reference and trademark issued to their supplier s Ecocert Canada certified products. Suppliers must inform Ecocert Canada of the name and trademarks of companies they work with and with whom they have a private brand agreement allowing the reference to the supplier s certification. These trademarks must be listed on the supplier s organic certificate. When the private brand owner does not want the name of the supplier to appear on the label, Ecocert Canada can authorize the use of an identification code instead. The license must be renewed every year. When not renewed, the private brand owner must stop any reference to Ecocert Canada. Private Brand: When processing products for a private brand, the brand owner may request that the label bear the private brand company s organic reference from their own certification body. This is allowed in Canada. Pre certification The organic claim and the use of Ecocert Canada s trademark and logos are prohibited when the enterprise is still undergoing conversion. Labelling Guide Version 3 Page 5

The following information must appear on labels of products sold in the USA: 100% ORGANIC (1) Organic statement Name of product certificate owner (or identification code) The statement Certified organic by Ecocert Canada. This statement must be on the information panel under the information identifying the processor or distributor of the product Optional: The identification of organic ingredients in the ingredients list Organic Canada, Ecocert, and USDA Logos* * When the USDA logo and the CB logo (ECOCERT) are used on the same label, the ECOCERT logo must not be more predominant than the USDA logo.

9 LESS THAN 70% ORGANIC CONTENT (certification optional) Name of product certificate owner (or identification code) Organic ingredients identified in the ingredient list (1) Unlike the Canadian standard, the NOP standard includes a category of 100% organic product. That category must contain 100% organic ingredients only (excluding water and salt). In Canada, the statement 100% organic is prohibited on the labels because it may suggest to consumers that it is a higher level of certification. The USDA logo can be used on all products certified according to the US/Canada equivalency agreement containing 95% or more organic content. When the USDA logo and the CB logo (ECOCERT) are used on the same label, the ECOCERT logo must not be more predominant than the USDA logo. Labelling Guide Version 3 Page 9
