GMO Testing in Canada

Grains, Canola and Corn

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

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
  • ISO/IEC 17025 accredited

We offer:

  • Quick turn-around times – no need to send samples all the way to the US
  • Competitive pricing – no cross-border shipping costs, and exchange rates give you a discount of almost 30%!
