On June 16, 2023, following approval by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), the International Organic Accreditation Service (IOAS) officially issued the Canadian Organic Product Accreditation Certificate to FOFCC, marking another new milestone in FOFCC's development journey. In June 2022, FOFCC submitted an accreditation application to IOAS. Due to the impact of the pandemic, IOAS was unable to dispatch assessors to China to conduct on-site assessments and witnessing activities. In November 2022 and January 2023, two IOAS assessors conducted an inspector witnessing assessment and an office assessment of FOFCC through remote assessment methods, respectively. Despite the tight schedule and heavy workload of preparations, the IOAS assessors affirmed the operation of FOFCC's management system and reached an assessment result recommending accreditation.文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/am/21483/
