We need to boycott this company by shopping at local grocers and farmer's markets.
Made in the US and doesn't include high fructose corn syrup? What sorcery is this?!
I wouldn't assume any processed food is devoid of American ingredients that doesn't explicitly state this.
I've been going to Co-op and for all their produce and meat they've labeled what's from Canada! Plus you get a return at the end of the year :)
Most grocery stores around here have stickers on shelves for Canada-made products but don't label American companies selling those Canadian products, which would make the decision-making process a lot easier.

House brand products are almost always made by one of the big guys. It can be tricky to figure out who though.
For Save On Foods Western Family, here are the ones I recall, I may be wrong now. Eggs are Golden Valley, same as all of the other eggs. As I recall: The tortilla chips are Old Dutch, the rest are Lays As I recall: Yogurt is Astro(made in Canada, parent company Lactalis, France). Cream cheese is made by Parmalat(Canadian made, company is Italian, parent company Lactalis)
My pizza was made in Germany. Which is fine but strange. Thats a long way for a frozen pizza to travel.
That's why they're frozen. They frisbee better that way.
we rob loblaws anyway right? eternal rob loblaws month.
They aren't even Canadian in the first place.
That ingredient list.
Simple!
That lazy allergens list. Besides shellfish, the only allergens not in "may contain" are actually in the ingredients.
Isn't "may contain" more about contamination from other things made in the same facility?
Yes, that's the intention when used properly. When abused, it's a "cover your ass" statement.
I challenge these manufacturers to provide actual data supporting their claims that these allergens can be found near their production lines, or in the factories producing their ingredients.
