Advice from our nutritionist Linda Montpetit
If you’re looking for organic foods, make sure they’re also good for your health. They must have a short list of ingredients that are as natural and unprocessed as possible, such as whole grains, fruit, nuts, no or very little fat or added sugar.
More organic ingredients, fewer pesticides
There is a huge selection of organic products available in Quebec and it’s getting bigger every week. They are sought-after because they’re usually pesticide-free and do not contain any artificial colouring or preservatives. They’re also good for your health and taste better. Furthermore, they have a smaller environmental footprint. Interested in trying them out? Try opting for the organic versions of the 12 most contaminated foods: strawberries, spinach, nectarines, apples, peaches, pears, cherries, grapes, celery, tomatoes, bell peppers, and potatoes.
Certification, a guarantee of quality
The “organic” designation is regulated by a governmental law that requires that all food products designated “organic” be certified by an officially recognized body. Every organic food product must bear the name or logo of the certification body. That way, you can be sure that a product with this certification complies with official standards. Organic foods are the result of production or processing methods designed to protect the environment, maintain biodiversity, respect natural cycles, focus on the health and well-being of animals, and support local economies. You’ll find a huge selection of these products at Metro, simply look for the “organic” attributes!
