Suspended and Cancelled Organic Certifications
All organic certification holders under the Canada Organic Regime are required to comply with the Organic Products Regulations, 2009 (OPR).
Certification bodies accredited by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency can suspend a holder's certification if the holder has not complied with any provision of the Organic Products Regulations, 2009, the Canada Agricultural Products Act or the issued organic certificate.

Additional information
When there is non-compliance with the organic requirements, the accredited certification body provides the holder with a report that specifies the following:
- the grounds for suspension,
- the required corrective measures, and
- the period within which those measures must be implemented to avoid suspension.
Certification is suspended if the holder has failed to or is unable to implement the required corrective measures within the period specified in the report. The suspension remains in effect until the required corrective measures are implemented by the holder and verified by an accredited certification body.
Certification is cancelled by an accredited certification body if the holder is unable to implement the required corrective measures within 30 days following the day on which the certification was suspended or within any longer period allowed by the certification body under section 20 (3) of the Organics Products Regulations, 2009.
