Over 8 Decades of History

Back in 1942...

Founded in 1942 at the request of the Canadian government, the original group of 12 companies was made up of the principal brokers, importers and grinders in the Canadian Spice industry at the time. 

 The initial purpose of the Association was to ensure that fair and equitable allocations of the various spices were made during World War II, as it was extremely difficult to obtain supplies due to crop shortages and limited shipping facilities from foreign countries during wartime. Over time, the Association became a useful vehicle for exchanging information about common issues within the industry and government. 

Today...

The CSA is a very different organization than in the earlier years. It will continue to be an essential force in the areas of governmental affairs and scientific issues. Activities include representation in Technical and Government Affairs and Affiliations. 


Technical and Government Affairs
The Canadian Spice Association has continued to align and involve itself with government initiatives in the food industry in the interest of our members, customers and the consumer. Through strong representation we have monitored, participated in dialogue and contributed to the development process of regulations and programs related to spices and other food ingredients. These include: 

Allergens 

Irradiation 

CEPA 

Labelling 

Division 7 

Methyl Bromide 

Ethylene Oxide 

Nutraceuticals and Functional Ingredients 

Food Additives 

PMRA Pesticide MRL’s 

Food Safety 

Spice Adulteration 


CANADIAN SPICE ASSOCIATION AFFILIATIONS

Working together!

 

The CSA is a member of the American Spice Trade Association (ASTA), an international trade association similar to the CSA, whose mandate is more extensive due to its larger international base of members. ASTA engages in additional activities such as establishing worldwide standards for cleanliness and analysis, monitoring pesticides, offering informational publications and providing information on trade statistics and technical issues. As a member we have access to these services.


The Saskatchewan Herb and Spice Association (SHSA) and the CSA have reciprocal membership. 


We have association with the European Spice Association (ESA) and have formed industry coalitions with other food organizations, e.g. The Canadian Association of Importers and Exporters (IE Canada) and  Food, Health & Consumer Products of Canada (FHCP).
