CFIA (previously titled Canada Organic Office)

Question: 

Does CFIA recognize OMRI's decisions about materials?

Certifying Bodies (CBs) may consult with OMRI as an ISO 17065 accredited input evaluation program, in accordance with C.2.2.5 of the Canada Organic Regime (COR) Operating Manual. OMRI offers contractual agreements with CBs to formally arrange for CBs to accept OMRI decisions on approved products, and most CBs accept an OMRI certificate for products reviewed to the COR standards. However, organic producers should check with their CB before using a new product in their certified organic operation.
