My new French word for today.
« Érablanchiment ». -
Last time I was in a supermarket, they played the Canadian national anthem twice, then announced their "patriotic" signage.

First the 🍞💲 bread price-fixing scandal, now this...
Loblaw-owned Canadian Superstore fined for promoting imported food as "Canadian" in Toronto.
Superstore uses maple leaf advertising decals as part of an in-store display (not just in Toronto!!)
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA):
"This created a product advertisement that is misleading to consumers regarding the origin of the product." #MapleWashing
Federal regulations state that food labels and in-store signage must be accurate and not misleading.

"Maple Washing" is basically companies mislablelling their product as "canadian" even if they're not, or only partially. #maplewashing
In this video, they found many confusing products.
One of them was labeled as:
- Canadian company since 1957
- Prepared in Canada
But was ultimately a product of the USA. You had to flip it over and read the small prints.
Furthermore, they found Australian products with VERY clear labels: indicating even the % of ingredients coming from #australia. I think that would be great for #canada to have something like that.
For now, if you want to buy canadian, the safest label to find is "Product of Canada".

Beware of #maplewashing. Check your products again and again and again... https://www.cbc.ca/news/marketplace/canadian-grocery-usa-9.7066424 #elbowsup #cdnpoli #polcan

Call it #MapleWashing, #MapleTurfing, #MapleLighting, whatever... This is an excellent example, the enshittification lengths a corporation will go to to steal your money.
Campbell's soup closed their last Canadian plant in 2018. Just recently, they decided to add a Maple Leaf, or a "Canadian" symbol to their labeling. As neither one is a protected symbol, there's nothing to stop them, no law, no regulation.
I mean yeah, if you're thinking of buying a can of soup, go ahead instead to the butchers, the deli, the produce section and buy stuff to make your own. It'll be at least 7 orders of magnitude better than any can on any shelf.
But for sure don't be duped by grifting scumbags who lie to your face to steal your money.
Tim Hortons isn't Canadian either.... Neither is Home Depot.... Neither is Walmart....
You must choose, but choose wisely.

Since my initial post that Campbell's has inaccurate "prepared in Canada" packaging, a few people have been countering with this CBC article - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/buying-canadian-trade-war-freshco-1.7475613
This CBC article is only situationally accurate.There are different versions of Campbell's packaging. Some say "designed in Canada". Some say "prepared in Canada". Some say nothing. Some list the address as Mississauga, some as Toronto.
I don't make claims without receipts ;)
-
Worth noting there are a few version of Campbell's soup can packaging out there so I took a screenshot of this one for sale on amazon.ca (there's a double whammy for you).
Note that the address on this Campbell's soup can is just a last-mile distribution facility. There has been no production at this location since 2018. It is not, in fact. "prepared in Canada".

@shawnhooper The Campbells website is slathered with #mapleWashing - seeks to appear Canadian, but not much sense of where their products are made, and with ingredients from what sources. I suspect they're worried about sparking a Heinz-Ketchup-like backlash @CdnCurmudgeon
