The CFIA can impose fines of up to $15,000 per offence. No fines or other penalties were issued in the cases, including one that took four months to fully resolve.

The federal food regulator said it "took action" in each case and that, in all of them, the grocers fixed the problem.

I don't get it. Without the fines, grocers will just continue to use misleading signage. And in this vague of boycotts, it's important to trust where the product is coming from. They need to be hit where it hurts (money).
