Driscoll does not grow a single berry. They are a genetic bank of seed stocks that contract farms to grow berries year around. By contracting, they have plausible deniability about pesticides in the berries.

Have you noticed you can now buy berries year around?

And why isn't CFIA checking food? That's their job.

    Then what is the point of the CFIA. Between CFIA and Health Canada, over 15,000 doing fuck all.

    No surprise really. Nothing is happening in regarding labeling either. So many products not labeled with origin or mislabeled (maple washing). We need tighter rules, stricter controls and hefty fines.
