The CFIA can impose fines of up to $15,000 per offence. No fines or other penalties were issued in the cases, including one that took four months to fully resolve.

The federal food regulator said it “took action” in each case and that, in all of them, the grocers fixed the problem.

    Dairy is over regulated thanks to the milk cartel in Canada.

    Other countries in Europe get by just fine without selling ultrapasteurized and homogenized milk, and hard and over ripened cheese only. The industry could benefit from some balkanization here.

      You are right. That bugs the hell out of me. Europe is so much cheaper and have better product/more variety. The prices are nuts. In the last few months it went up again several times.
