"Processed in Canada," "Prepared in Canada" or similar statements tell you the product was made in Canada by skilled Canadian workers to meet Canada's stringent regulations. It may contain imported ingredients or a blend of Canadian and imported ingredients. Other statements, such as "Made with 100% Canadian strawberries," tell you exactly which ingredients in the product are Canadian. The Canadian Advantage - Videos
