48 cases of false "Made in Canada" labels found in Ontario stores; agency issued corrective letters.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency found 48 cases of mislabeling in Ontario grocery stores where products were falsely labeled as made in Canada, a practice known as "maple washing."
The CFIA received 167 complaints about country of origin between November 2024 and September 2025, with 30 in August alone.
While no stores were named or fined, they were issued corrective action letters.
The agency emphasized that food producers and retailers must follow Canada’s labeling laws, including accurate country-of-origin information.
Experts say such errors, once seen as accidental, are now widely viewed as unacceptable.
Consumers are urged to check labels carefully and report concerns online.
