About

Overview

Consumers are increasingly looking to buy Quebec products to encourage the local economy. To promote this growing trend, the Quebec government has supported the creation of the NPO Les Produits du Québec.

Our certification mark program is inspired by the proven Aliments du Québec model that has been helping consumers discover Quebec food products for over 25 years. Like Aliments du Québec or Aliments préparés au Québec, our certification marks are the standard for Quebecers who want to buy locally produced, manufactured, or designed products. To guarantee the origin of the products, both Les Produits du Québec and Aliments du Québec use a meticulous verification process.

Why a certification mark?

Three certification marks were created to facilitate the identification of goods produced, manufactured or designed in Quebec to make it easier for consumers to recognize Quebec products.

Mission and vision

Established in 2022, Les Produits du Québec is a non-profit organization created in partnership with the Quebec government to promote the Quebec economy and highlight Quebecers' expertise.

Mission

Boost the recognition and popularity of Quebec products.

Vision

Become the leading reference mark with regard to the sale of non-food Quebec products in terms of trust and recognition.

Promoting Quebec industries

Goods produced, manufactured or designed in Quebec intended for sale, and that meet the requirements, are eligible for Produits du Québec certification marks. Regardless of size or category, excluding products intended for human consumption.
