British Ban Canadian Saskatoon Berry Products
Seems the British have banned Canadian made jams, jellies and syrups
containing Saskatoon berries. They think there is something harmful in the berries? The Queen and her offspring have gobbled down large quantities of this prairie delicacy during their time at the trough here in Canada. If such a product is fit for the Queen of England, surely Saskatoon berries can be consumed by the peasants. Something is wrong here. Farmer John |

Something is wrong here. > > Farmer John My understanding was that the ban only existed when they first tried to sell the Saskatoon berries there because " it [Britain] says there is no history of the fruit being eaten safely in Europe. " There was a trade meeting last Thursday and as of today the berries can be imported into Europe but only with a "Novel" designation attached. Canada is currently working to get around that, too.

Perhaps they are banned because the Queen ate them and didn't consider them fit for import |

Something is wrong here. <shrug> Just a new-to-them food having to be passed through a few hoops. For any Europeans reading the group, run don't walk to your nearest vendor. They are a yummy, nutriious sour-sweet berry that has been eaten for tens of thousands of years by the original peoples of North America. They make excellent jams, are wonderful in crisps and baked desserts, in muffins, raw, dried, in trail mixes and as fruit wine(!). I airfreight a twenty pound flat from Lethbridge to Toronto every August. Shirley Hicks Toronto, Ontario. |
