False blueberry advertising

A week ago I brought this false advertising to the attention of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in Ottawa.

It was referred to the Hamilton office and I was assured they would investigate.

But a week later I had heard nothing. So I reminded the CFIA in Ottawa that I am a reporter, and said it was shaping
 up to be a good storyl
Then I heard from the Hamilton office which asked for most of the same information, including picture, that I had originally sent.
When do you guess I might hear the results of their "investigation"?
They couldn't even be bothered to walk into one of the many Loblaws-owned stores and see for themselves.
If you harvest blueberries for a living, don't count on prompt help from your Canadian Food Inspection 
Agency.
