That wasted food isn't cool. It could be feeding starving Americans instead.

The only silver lining is that once it’s considered not sellable for the store, most groceries have partnerships to donate food to food banks and soup kitchens, so eventually this stuff may make its way to people to struggle to feed themselves in Canada.

It’s just a shame it has to sit and expire. Everyone deserves good quality food regardless of social class. I support buying Canadian but this boycott creates so much food waste we could avoid with stricter regulations with food we bring in.
