What makes a product organic?
Organic products are made using organic agricultural methods. This includes agricultural systems which do not use chemical fertilizers and pesticides, growth regulators and livestock feed additives. Organic agriculture works towards environmentally, socially and economically sustainable production. As of September 2018, 15 percent of survey respondents in Canada claimed that they only eat organic foods.
