Quality seed is the foundation of quality food. Starting with ingredients made from Certified Seed gives food processors such as millers, bakers and brewers the highest quality ingredients for their products. Certified Seed delivers specific nutritional and baking characteristics and helps ensure consistent product quality and performance to produce that perfect loaf or great-tasting beer.
To ensure products deliver these attributes, grain handlers, millers and food processors select grains and oilseeds grown from Certified seed.

Certified Seed starts with Canadian Seed Growers
Certified Seed starts with growers and strict production guidelines. Certified Seed can be identified by the Blue Tag which signifies that it was produced using a process monitored and validated by the Canadian Seed Growers' Association.

Earning the Blue Tag requires lots of extra work on behalf of growers to protect quality. Royalties collected on Certified Seed also make new, innovative variety development possible.
