Perry Impens was caught labeling imported peppers as Product
of Canada and has been fined $6,900 after pleading guilty in provincial court
in Windsor.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency figured it was too early
in the season for Impens to be selling Product-of-Canada peppers at the Ontario
Food Terminal and when it checked, it discovered they were imported from Mexico
and then Impens applied the Product-of-Canada labels.
The discovery was made in January during a routine CFIA tour
of inspection at the terminal.
