flag Canada’s grocery code of conduct, effective January 1, 2026, establishes a voluntary framework to promote fairer, more transparent relationships between major retailers and suppliers. flag It aims to address issues like retroactive fees and unilateral contract changes, supporting smaller producers and improving supply chain stability. flag While not legally binding, the code includes dispute resolution and public reporting through an independent adjudicator. flag The initiative responds to concerns over rising food costs and market concentration, with the goal of enhancing product availability and long-term competition, though it does not directly control prices.
