Does NOT
  • Provincial sales-only operations are not legally required to carry it (though many do voluntarily).
  • USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.

  • Allows synthetic pesticides — does NOT meet any organic standard. Often confused with organic but it's a different programme.
