Buyer Beware!


Oh dear it’s happened again!   News just in from Canada ‘The owner of a British food shop in Canada says he has been ordered to stop importing and selling Marmite, Ovaltine and Irn-Bru because they contain illegal additives.’    Just because a product is considered acceptable for sale in one country does not automatically mean it is acceptable for sale in a different country.   Each country (and in America each State!) has its own rules and ideas about what is OK for its citizens.   Importers breaking these rules whether by ignorance or deliberate fraud will find their goods confiscated and probably destroyed.   Fighting such cases can be a lengthy business with the need for professional help from chemists, food manufacturers, doctors and lawyers.   Better to know the rules and avoid the cost and disappointment.  See full story here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-25867613
