Loblaw fined $10K for misrepresenting imported broccoli slaw as Canadian

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has fined a Loblaw-owned Superstore $10,000 for mislabeling President’s Choice broccoli slaw as Canadian while it was actually imported from the USA. The store used misleading signage featuring Canadian symbols despite the packaging’s clear indication of its origin. Although the CFIA has only announced this single fine, investigations into other grocers, like Sobeys, are ongoing, with potential penalties still being considered.
