Loblaw Fined $10K for Mislabeling Imported Broccoli Slaw as Canadian

Loblaw's Misstep in Food Labeling

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has revealed more information regarding the recent $10,000 penalty imposed on a Loblaw-owned Superstore. This fine was issued due to the misrepresentation of a food product, specifically marketing imported items as Canadian-made.

The product at the heart of the issue is President's Choice broccoli slaw, a brand owned by Loblaw. The CFIA's investigation uncovered that the labeling on this particular item misled consumers into believing it was sourced from Canada, when in fact, it was imported.

This incident highlights the importance of accurate food labeling and compliance with Canadian regulations, ensuring that consumers receive truthful information about the products they purchase.
