With Canadian goods facing 25% tariffs from the U.S., shoppers are scrutinizing labels for their origin. This article clarifies the meanings behind 'Product of Canada', 'Made in Canada', 'Canadian', '100% Canadian', and the iconic Maple Leaf, explaining the regulations and nuances for various product categories.
TORONTO — Shoppers have been caught up in the buy Canadian fervour since U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order Sunday applying 25 per cent tariffs on all Canadian goods starting Tuesday.
Products with this label were grown or raised by Canadian farmers and prepared and packaged in Canada, but can contain a small amount of imported food, such as spices, additives, vitamins, and flavourings. For non-food products to use the label, the Competition Bureau says the last substantial transformation of the good must have occurred in Canada and at least 51 per cent of production or manufacturing costs must have been in the country.
The same is true for ingredients, so if"Canadian cheddar cheese" is marked on a package of cheddar cheese sauce, all or virtually all major ingredients, processing and labour used to make the cheddar cheese in the sauce must be Canadian.To use this term, the CFIA says the food or ingredient to which the claim applies must be entirely Canadian, including its processing and labour.
