GMO Testing in Canada

Grains, Canola and Corn

Accurate and efficient GMO testing to ensure quality, traceability and sustainability.

In today's fast-paced business environment, efficiency and precision are essential. Say goodbye to long waiting times and expensive shipping costs. Say hello to a streamlined process that ensures your products reach their destination quickly while meeting strict quality and compliance standards. 

As the planting of GMO crops has extended around the world, many countries have implemented regulations prohibiting the use of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) in food products. Growers that wish to trade with countries specifying GMO-free products must ensure that the products, including raw ingredients, they supply meet national and international standards.

SGS’s Saskatoon Genomics Lab provides highly accurate and efficient GMO testing. We are the only Canadian lab to provide the full range of GMO testing services.

Our GMO testing lab is:

  • The first Non-GMO Project approved laboratory in Canada
