Seed Identification

Bagged seed is still available and carries the following Canadian Food Inspection Agency tags:

  • ORANGE tags identify Elite seed
  • WHITE tags identify Foundation seed
  • BLUE tags identify Certified seed

All shipments of nuclear seed must be accompanied by a Nuclear Stock Certificate issued by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Bulk seed sales are identified by Bulk Movement Certificates which are also issued by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

To be valid, the tags and Bulk Movement Certificates must identify the seed by variety, class and certification number.
