Grower Information

The Ontario Ginseng Growers Association (Association) has developed the logo represented above (Logo) as a symbol of quality ginseng grown in the province of Ontario, Canada. The Logo is a certification mark.

Growers and manufacturers who wish to use the Logo on their products or in marketing or promotional material:

1. must comply with the Association’s certification standards set out below, and
2. must, in accordance with any requirements imposed by the Association from time to time, enter into a form of license agreement approved by the Association from time to time.

The Association’s current standards for use of the Logo are:

1. Any Ginseng on which the Logo is placed must be Ontario ginseng (being panax quinqefolium grown in the province of Ontario, Canada) that has been grown by a ginseng grower who is a member of the Association.
2. Any packaging or container on which the Logo is placed must
   1. contain as its primary ingredient, by weight and volume, Ontario ginseng grown by a ginseng grower that is a member of the Association, and
   2. not contain any panax quinqefolium grown in any other jurisdiction.

These certification standards may be amended, added to, deleted or repealed (in whole or in part) by the Association from time to time in its sole discretion, with each such change to be effective when posted on the website then maintained by the Association.
