Food Safety: The Non-Negotiable in Certified-Organic Supply

Organic produce is grown without synthetic products, but it is not immune to the same microbiological risks that exist in any fresh-food supply chain. GEO strictly complies with Canadian food safety standards and holds internationally recognized CFSI certification, in addition to organic certification to protect shoppers, growers, and your brand.
