Buying Local, Canadian, International (lemmy.ca)

I've been trying to minimize my US buying. Can't found a way to get my kids off the US broccoli yet, but this site has been useful helping me find Canadian alternatives to a lot of packaged shelf-stable products.

I've seen a lot of made-in-USA products placed on the shelf upside down. That helps, please keep doing it!

My question: which grocery stores in town are doing the best jobs of making it clear which foods are domestic?

Tangentially related: I checked Kombucha on that website and it's totally wrong about GT's being Canadian. It's made in the US and the owner is American. So make sure you check the label on anything you buy. Grocery stores are terrible about labelling too, you always gotta check the little sticker that's actually on the produce.

Totally related, and a good point. That website is pretty bare bones and it would be great if it had a way to raise feedback like yours... or submit alternatives that it's missing.
