Canadian Variety Transparency Database

This database is part of a broader, seed industry-led effort to provide transparency for seed varieties.

In accordance with the Health Canada Transparency Initiative, if a variety has been developed using gene editing technology and does not meet the definition of a “novel food,” “Required” will appear under “Health Canada Notification” column of the database. More information about these varieties can be found on the non-novel list.

Varietal data is obtained from the records of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Seeds Canada members and partners.
