A Superstore owned by grocery chain Loblaws has been fined $10,000 by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) for displaying certain imported products in a way the agency described as “misleading,” giving the impression they were “Product of Canada.”

In a social media post on Feb. 17, the CFIA said the Loblaws’ subsidiary committed a violation under the Safe Food for Canadians Act “related to misleading Product of Canada product displays.”
