CANSA Seal of Recognition CANSA Seal of Recognition

The CANSA Smart Choice Seal of Recognition is part of our ongoing effort to reduce exposure to carcinogens and other cancer risk factors. Through this programme, CANSA promotes a smart, balanced lifestyle by placing its Seal logo on products that support healthier, informed choices.

The Seal is awarded across five categories: protection (UV-protective garments, sun gear and sunscreen), edible consumer goods, non-edible consumer goods, patient care, and physical activity.

Read more about how featuring the Seal on your product packaging and promotional material can build consumer trust, strengthen your brand, and benefit your business.
