Which is an easy way for manufacturers to avoid their responsibilities.
While wheat problems affects a minority, milk products affects a
minority, nuts affect a minority and salt is a no-no for others, if you
add up minorities here and there, you wind up with a majority. Put
another way, any company that refuses to fess up to ingredients deserves
all the lawsuits that come their way. Seems to me that a company that
willingly hides from its obligations to its consumers should not be
allowed in the marketplace.

I am proud of the stance that the Canadian government is taking.
