      OK, I’ll start:

      It’s a little thing, but Fresh Co. labels a ton of produce as “Mexico or the US”. That seems a bit shady in my books, so I’ll just assume that means it’s from the US.

        I see the same at NoFrills as well, but if you look at the actual produce stickers instead of the bin labels it will tell you the specific country.

      Chef’s Plate started putting stickers on their boxes saying “Produced in Canada” and below it basically says ‘from international ingredients’.

        This sort od shit? Jail the marketing director who signed off on this and see how fast that lying shit stops…

        Jailing managers and directors n that break the law fixes this, please start locking them up, just like you do with the rest of us plebs.

        LOCK THEM UP

          This seems a bit extreme, especially given that nothing illegal has happened.

            In the political environment we’re in right now it pays to claim you’re Canadian. If you make that claim while you’re not, you’re committing fraud. If I commit fraud, I go to jail. If a CEO decides to commit fraud he…?

              Is it produced in Canada? If so, that’s not fraud.

              A lot of things are produced in Canada with non Canadian ingredients. Pointing out the former while still having the latter information isn’t fraud. It’s barely even being misleading.
