Considering that I do check all labels, and this problem really only came up once, I don’t think it’s massively widespread. This coffee was from a small business, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that perhaps they don’t know the labelling requirement.

Generally speaking, we have pretty good labelling requirements, but there are times when labels can be vague or misleading. Like seeing packaged goods that say “Baked in Canada” means squat to me. Where were the ingredients grown and where were they processed?

I’m referring most to food items. I’m not sure how good/bad it is for other products.
