If an imported product is completely transformed into another product, such as beer brewed in Canada or spirits distilled in Canada, is it eligible for a Product of Canada label?
Beer or spirits processed in Canada using imported ingredients would not be eligible for a Product of Canada claim. A Made in Canada from domestic and imported ingredients claim could be used to inform the consumer that the product contains both domestic and imported ingredients. Other claims, such as “Brewed in Canada” or “Distilled in Canada” could be used provided that they were accurate and truthful and not misleading to the consumer.
