"Maple washing" on grocery store shelves with new advertising/packaging terminology confusing + mislead Canadians — intentionally or not.
Some advertising trying to make it look Canadian, when in reality it's not. ("Designed in Canada" labeling is distasteful.)
🤔 Look past the 🍁maple leave symbol and/or colourful ad on the front of the package/container/jar.
👀 Flip to the back of the package/container/jar and review the "Product of..." + "Prepared for..." country of origin info.

I’ve been using an Epic Blend mint lip balm that I really like, but couldn’t remember where I bought it and hadn’t been able to find it anywhere. I’m sensitive to scents, so I have to use natural products.
I googled the lip balm on Saturday and discovered they sell directly to customers so I placed an order and it arrived yesterday. I signed up for 20% off so ordered more items. Look at the adorable little rubber duckie that came with my order!
