My Department’s investigation of this matter is ongoing and the results are not yet available. While certain aspects of the information assembled may be commercially sensitive, the overall conclusions will be released.

The objective of this investigation is to look at each of the sites of the company named with the sole view of determining whether the requirements of the organic regulations are met. In that respect, any conditions directly relevant to the award of organic status will be taken into account.
