Organic aquaculture products will be required to comply with the "Organic Aquaculture Standard CAN/CGSB-32.312 Organic Production Systems –Aquaculture – General principles, management standards and permitted substances lists" incorporated by reference in the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR). The 24-month transition period to the new requirement begins January 15, 2019. Organic aquaculture products that are sold between provinces or imported must be certified by a CFIA accredited certifier, and the Canada Organic Logo cannot be used unless the product has been certified organic.  Certification of seaweed under the current requirements will remain valid until the end of the 24 month transition period. Organic aquaculture products are not within the scope of Canada's current international organic equivalency arrangements.
