Organic and Québec-grown Food: A Sustainable Match
For over 10 years, the brands Aliments du Québec – Bio and Aliments préparés au Québec – Bio have helped you choose organic products that come from Québec-based companies. But how much do you really know about food that is both organic AND local? Aliments du Québec
Through a partnership with the Filière biologique du Québec and the Conseil des appellations réservées et des termes valorisants (CARTV), since 2013 Aliments du Québec gives Quebec consumers the opportunity to identify the origin of organic products by using organic versions of its already-familiar logos.
Organic Food in Québec
In Québec, about one hundred stores specialize in organic foods. These retailers often offer many Québec-produced organic items bearing the “Aliments du Québec – Bio” or “Aliments préparés au Québec – Bio” logo. The popularity of these products has been growing for years, and the range available is constantly expanding. If you want to buy everything in one place, you will often find a dedicated organic section in supermarkets to make your grocery shopping easier.
Organic Options for Every Taste
It has never been easier to find organic products — whatever form they take. Dairy, meats, grains, fruits and vegetables, not to mention delicious maple products! To help you find organic Québec products and producers, check the directory of our verified products.
Local Organic: Values That Endure
Over time, organic products have raised many questions. It’s important to remain cautious, especially regarding questionable certifications. To protect yourself as a consumer, you need to understand what food certification means.
Organic certifications are only granted after strict compliance with very demanding standards. The origin-based identifications — like those of Aliments du Québec — use rigorous criteria to validate that the food was produced in Québec soil.
The organic versions of the Aliments du Québec brands combine two important aspects for many consumers: organical farming (ensuring pesticide-free production and lower environmental impact), and local purchasing (which guarantees some of the highest food-safety standards in the world and supports the economy of Québec’s various regions). A double guarantee!
The best advice is to read labels carefully and choose foods that are certified under recognized programs. By eating Québec organic products, you can ensure the rigor of the certification and a conscientious processing path.
