ORAGIN Foods Inc. (“ORAGIN” or the “Company”)
(TSXV: OG) (OTCQX: OGGFF) (FRA: 9CW) is
excited to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Future of
Cheese Inc. (“Future of Cheese” or the “Company”), has obtained
Organic Certification through Ecocert allowing the Company to
market Organic claims on its products in the Canadian, United
States and European Union markets. Through Ecocert, the Company’s
products have been certified in accordance with the terms of
Canadian Organic Regime (CRO), the US - Canada Organic Equivalency
Arrangement (USCOEA), and the European Union- Canada Organic
Equivalency Arrangement (EUCOEA).
“This is a huge milestone for us and the shareholders of ORAGIN
as it means that not only are our products recognized by an
international regulatory body to be of the highest quality by using
organic ingredients but also ensures the absence of GMO, chemical
and synthetic ingredients, further proving our commitment to

Wojtaszek, President of Future of Cheese. “Additionally, we have
now been officially granted the green light to proudly market these
claims in various international markets as we plan for our
anticipated ecommerce launch.”
Ecocert has an international network in more than 130 countries
to verify the conformity of practices with Organic specifications.
The entire supply chain is audited, from the raw material to the
finished product. Ecocert carries out at least one annual on-site
inspection, supplemented by additional unannounced audits during
the year. The audit reports are then independently verified in
order to certify organic products.
In addition, the certification will allow the Company to expand
into retail chains that have strict organic, non-GMO, and
sustainable policies on any products they offer to their trusted
customer bases.
