Natural Food Approval Certification
ACS Canada provides Natural Food Approval Certification services for food manufacturers seeking independent verification that products comply with recognized natural food requirements and contain no artificial additives, synthetic ingredients, or unnecessary processing.
Natural food generally refers to food that has undergone minimal processing and contains no artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, or synthetic additives.
Natural Food Definitions
According to guidance from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), foods represented as natural should not contain added vitamins, artificial flavors, food additives, or synthetic ingredients, and should not be significantly processed.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally considers natural food to mean that nothing artificial or synthetic has been included in or added to a food that would not normally be expected to be present.
