So you want to Shop Like A Canadian? I do too and for a whole lot of reasons. Local food is better for the planet and keeping our producers and processors in business. Reviving the entire sector which, for a number of years, seemed to have been on life support is actually fun. It whets our culinary curiosity and de� nes who we are as Canadians. We are very proud of those culinary nationalists who care enough to risk being in the food business either as a grower, a processor or as a manufacturer.

Product of Canada is the one that holds the most weight. It's grown and pro- cessed in Canada. � is is why this list is such fun … and why it's so important. According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, a "Product of Canada" label means that all, or nearly all, of the food, processing and labour used to make the food is Canadian. � ese foods were grown or raised by Canadian farmers and prepared and packaged by Canadian food companies.

Made in Canada is where it could get confusing and unless you carry a magnifying glass to the grocery store, a few manufacturers would like to keep it that way. But it's also where makers of gorgeous jams, for instance, cannot call what they create Product of Canada because the bulk of the preserve is sugar from outside the country. � e cha� -si� ing continued. � e words "Made in Canada from do- mestic and imported ingredients" on a food label mean that a Canadian company was involved in some of the preparation of the food. � ese foods also contain some food grown by Canadian farm- ers, and some food that's been imported. � e words "Made in Canada from imported ingredients" on a food label means that a Canadian company was involved in some of the preparation of the food; and the contents of the food were imported. A Maple Leaf on the Label o� en is a decoration more than an origin stamp. Check the "Made in" status. � is is what we call Canada-washing. Now what does "local" mean on a label? We think it's pretty intuitive but the CFIA has had to adopt a policy, albeit interim, on Local Food Claims, which recognizes "local" as food produced in the province or territory in which it is sold, or food sold across provincial borders within 50 km of the originating province or territory.
