Canadian Products, Canadian Pride!
Before you make a purchase, please check that you are buying a Canadian product. Supporting Canadian-made goods helps protect our economy. Choose Canada, avoid US products! 🇨🇦💪
How to ensure that the products you buy are Canadian and not from the US
1. Check the Barcode
- Canadian products usually have barcodes that start with "06" or "07".
- US products often have barcodes starting with "00" to "13".
- However, this method is not 100% reliable since barcodes are registered based on company location, not necessarily where the product is made.
2. Look for "Made in Canada" Labels
- Look for "Product of Canada" or "Made in Canada" labels.
- "Product of Canada" means at least 98% of the ingredients are Canadian.
- "Made in Canada" means the product is processed in Canada, but ingredients may come from other countries.
3. Avoid "Made in USA" Labels
- If a product is labeled "Made in the USA", it is clearly from the US.
- Some products may say "Assembled in the USA", meaning parts come from other countries, but final production happens in the US.
4. Grocery Store Tags
- Some grocery stores label "Canadian" products separately.
- Farmer’s markets and local stores often have 100% Canadian goods.
5. Ask the Retailer
- When in doubt, ask customer service if a product is Canadian-made.
