I have a pound of a store brand honey labeled: “Honey From the USA, Canada or Argentina.”

No one in our government, or in most businesses dealing in imports, wants accurate country of origin labeling. Most in Congress are bought and paid for by business interests who want no accurate labeling.

And from this article, it looks like those at the FDA and elsewhere also have no interest in identifying adulterated honey and mislabeled country of origin honey. And we can bet honey is not the only imported food product or food supplement where that is the case.

Canadian merchandise can be labelled Made in Canada if more than 50% of VALUE is created in Canada.

That means, if you buy apple concentrate in China for 20 cents a pound and make apple juice out of it you can label it made in canada, because out of $1.59 for a liter of juice apple concentrate is worth 10 cents. Perfectly legal
