- Most apple juice products for sale on Canadian shelves are being made with foreign concentrate, but consumers would never know it.

"Where do you think apples are from?"
Kid: "The ground"
.....mood
She was right. The apples that fell on the ground are sold for juice.
@@unknowncountry9403 absolutely. Ground apples, horse apples, pig apples...all of the apples that didn't get picked in time.
Rose Stewart Hola fruit picker! 8-)
How tf is that a mood?
@@G370zz It sounds like something I'd say when I was her age, so therefore issa mood sksk
Canadian food label agency is paid off for sure.
Canadians are just like us lol
Hagop D
Guess that our politicians are cheaper to buy! This woman in the orange suit is a prime example of corruption, trying to twist words to make it sound like its the consumers fault.
@@Saracinderallasushis yeah, that was appalling. I would have at least, to save face, agree with the reporter and say that it's great feedback to take back to the board. She made no friends with the approach she took.
Another BS artist-She needs to be replaced with legitimate concerned orgs!
Just a Knight they need to put huge letters to say where it comes from
That lady from the Food Label Agency is definitely getting lobbied.
Crazy the power a lobbyist has.
Tony Tan That lady from the government is probably getting money under the table from these companies look how she’s defending them! At one point I thought she worked for the company and not for our government! Shame!
Why, because she thinks people who can't read are foolish? I've personally never bought something thinking it was Canadian simply because it had a maple leaf printed on it. She's absolutely correct. No one can control what these companies print on their labels, unless it's something that is provably false. Hell, they could probably go so far as to include the Canadian flag on their labels - that doesn't mean anything either! It must read "Product of Canada".
lobbied these days is just a pretty way of saying bribes
There's no such thing as the Food Label Agency. The CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) is responsible for food labelling in Canada.
Very uneducated lady. She had an arranged marriage. She doesn't know what life is about
I spent July in Scotland. Their labels on produce (e.g., a pack of strawberries) not only said the country where it was grown, but the name of the farmer as well! I loved it and it encouraged me to buy local. I actually started to get familiar with the small differences between varieties produced by different farms. Even processed foods had an emphasis on local ingredients on their labels (e.g., a bag of chips has a label stating "100% Great British Potatoes"). Companies should start voluntarily labelling when using local sources. I'd certainly seek them out to support them if so.
This is common all over the EU.
Buying locally is more eco friendly too. Way to go
Johnny Ericsson
Big corporations are squeezing profits and flavour out of fruits and vegetables. Use to be strawberries were sweet and tomatoes had great flavour, now they taste like a bland apples.
Good point, I notice it while watching food hauls form great britain.
Same in Ireland
That lady's a bold-faced liar listen to her response and reply most likely she's taking huge pay out from these companies to be so evasive deceptive and ignoring the truth.
Omg and did you hear her trying to being funny making small talk? 😡🤬 Like GFY lady. "I like that you put different kinds of apples hehehehehehe"
she is just a puppet for the people really getting the big pay outs!!!
Totally agree
Yeah...she's a dingaling. Probably knows nothing about her job, and only got hired for having a V. Also doesn't sound like she was even born here?
Darrin G. Wait the reporter or the lady in orange?
Greetings from Australia 👋 I've been binge watching Canadian Marketplace for some reason 🤣 I think it's the awesome journalism.
Hello from Toronto!
Thanks! And I would buy food from Australia...i think a lot of Canadians would if they saw that on the label.
@@bloodhun23 haha true. On the east coast our fresh fruits and vegetables come from South Africa and Mexico mostly. But apple juice or jam would be fine coming from Australia.
@@bloodhun23 do you know how old the average apple you buy in the grocery store is? I'll give you a hint: it's not measured in days or even weeks. It's many months sometimes even a year plus!
It is awesome journalism! I like how they don't do anything fancy, just plain BS detection.
Watched the farmers market video also and I have to say, I'm so surprised by the lack of consumer protection laws are in Canada. I thought that they would have more laws and regulations in Canada than in the USA.
I'm actually surprised Canadians aren't leading the world on food awareness.
You can argue about EU, but got to admit, eu has really strict food regulations. Labels must include country of origin. Also farmers cant use antibiotics or other drugs to prevent diseases on animals, like they do e.g USA.
I am more surprised that in this case USA is better than Canada. what a shame for Canada.
___ me too! i was shocked that the US was better than Canada in this case
@@zbridgjpxupzm USA is better than Canada in all categories. Better pay. People coming to USA from Canada for better pay. Even Canada have free medical but u can't find primary doctor. It's like have no insurance. I have insurance from job and I don't pay dime. USA have economy million time stronger than Canada. USA is daddy to Canada. So respect ur father son.
@@moneyparhar this was about food regulation not capitalism...
Don’t drink your fruit, eat it. The problem with fruit juice and smoothies in general is that they don’t have the fibre that solid fruit and veggies give you. Therefore, the smoothie will not make you full, and all you’re getting is sugar carbs with no fibre like real fruit has. Drink water.
and even those are imported
d kim So , butthurt?
Exactly. Or maybe blend apple with water without the seeds
or make your own juice/smoothies
Was thinking the same thing
In Australia, They have to show on every product sold where the ingredients have been sourced and made. If it's made in Australia, it has to show what percentage of the ingredients are Australian and what percentage if any is from what countries. If the labels don't have than information, you can't sell it in Australia. This just came into force July 1st 2018.
Man I hate the beef that is imported from Australia, it's nasty and I'm talking about from a health food store even. I'd go buy cheap meat before getting that ever again uggg..
@@PatrickBaptist Australian Beef is grass fed. I'm from the States, and it took me a bit to get use to Grass over Grain. I must say, Grass fed is a much better flavor once you get use to it and then go back and try grain.
@@joshuachilcutt5416 I'm aware the claim was it's grass fed, that really just means for awhile and then they are fattened up on the grains, I've worked farms, been there and played that game. Grass fed is a better flavor, but it seems you only really notice so much when you buy from small farms, where I get mine they fatten the beefers up on fruit pulp the last 6 weeksish. Not to mention they have VERY clean water.
You should try what I call grass fed sometime, it's been a few years but I won't knowingly buy your countries meat anymore, specially not what they claim to be bison. YUCK.
Patrick Baptist we don’t eat bison here.
@@PatrickBaptist Unfortunately Australian meat is full of HORMONES!! Australian meat is banned from the European Union (all EU countries). It is also always the cheaper option in international countries (ie; in the middle east, the local meat is more expensive than Australian meat). Australia needs to stop the hormones and GMO in its produce
As an American watching this show, I am amazed and slightly relieved that Americans are not completely the worst at everything relating to consumer safety.
In Korea, products list their ingredients by country of import or region in the country.
@fato che What?
@fato che Canada is the most educated country in the world….what are u saying
9:42 man she dances around the questions like a tribesman in a rainfall
🤣🤣🤣
I'm pregnant and been craving apple juice. After watching this, I guess I'll have to bust out my own juicer for the occasional glass.
Thank you Marketplace for keeping us informed 😁
9:35 That glasses woman, Aline Dimitri, pisses me off.
Like a lawyer being technically right would piss anyone off.
Just listen to what she says.
omg so true! 😂Like stop blaming the consumers lmao.
"Yes...we have a lot of Canadian Water!" Now there's a winner for the Darwin Awards!!!
Brian Fong That lady from the government is probably getting money under the table from these companies look how she’s defending them! At one point I thought she worked for the company and not for our government! Shame!
Hey don’t bring lawyers into this.
I’m sorry I love writing essays :)))
Inspection agency rep is a sketchy, political weasel
I just want all of our products properly labelled. No more "imported by" with no mention of where the product came from, no more "Canada's favourite". Many Canadians would prefer to buy Canadian like me. And there are so many products I no longer buy because it's too confusing. If some people only care about price they can buy the crap from other countries.
As for apple juice all of our local companies have been bought out by Lassonde and they no longer have Canadian products. I buy apple cider which is produced locally.
It's all about 💲💲💲💲💲
If you are price sensitive, I cannot wait till the moment that you hesitate to pick up the Canadian product that costs more. If this isnt an issue, all the power to you
@@333KINGPIN33 Apple cider does cost more. I'm willing to pay more for a better or safer product especially if I'm feeding it to my kids.
Rose Stewart That lady from the government is probably getting money under the table from these companies look how she’s defending them! At one point I thought she worked for the company and not for our government! Shame!
@@CupContender haha I agree. I think she forgot she works for us.
Lady in orange: I know, why dont you know?
The Woman from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency reminds to our minster of Health who said smoking wasn't that bad.
I love how CBC really sticks it to the head people that have control over the situation at the end 😂
Just like the Marketplace episode about the Indian call centre scams a few weeks back, if it wasnt for Marketplace putting THE TRUTH to the front, nothing would get done.
Aline Dimitri comes across as a corporate shill.
She's a bad Canadian!
Bernard Lechler That lady from the government is probably getting money under the table from these companies look how she’s defending them! At one point I thought she worked for the company and not for our government! Shame!
@@brianfong5711 You are ASSUMING that she IS a Canadian, and according to her, that’s a mistake on YOUR part.
Over the hospital speaker : Due to a mixup in Urology, Apple juice will not be served in the cafeteria today ...
You're funny
Assante Freeman 😊
Mike Perkins Unfunny is as unfunny does.
Well I giggled anyway
Mike Perkins: I laughed.
I do not drink apple juice, I eat apples from my dads orchard (fun fact he is not farmer, he is full time anesthesiologist but his side hustle is taking care of his apple, peach and plum orchards). :)
I love how she stayed on point and made her voice heard 💪🏼 this is one of my favourite channels tell here about the stuff we eat and consume. Great job 👏🏼
"Consumers are taking a back seat to industry" OMG shocked. /sarcasm
no one really seems to care since they are just realizing just now. i think the companies should be transparent but who actually cares?
@@dantan1249 I feel the same. however when free trade starts going down the tubes some consumers may want to exerciser their power to choose, but for that we need knowledge of our products.
@D O T S Are you trying to tell me you don't purchase any goods or service for personal consumption? Must be nice to have everything provided to you, however I suspect you are purposely being obtuse.
@@RadixSortable true. when i said who cares? i meant to say that people are just pretending to care.

Now the bigger question is how he gets such perfect apples without having bugs feasting on them...
PESTICIDES....
Marketplaces rushes b
Pesticides are delicious.
His saying: 00:35
His hat/cap: 00:55
I remember picking an apple off a tree across from my school when I was a kid. That was by far the tastiest apple i ever had lol 🍎
I'm really impressed with how the host of the show really drilled into that lady at the end. Don't let them BS us!
I like the transparency on this! Great job CBC! Was there any analysis done comparing apple juice when it is not from concentrate? Was there a difference or was it the same result?
Get em marķetplace🤣🤣🤣
Because I am a Canadian, I will drink juice and milk products “IF“ and only “IF” all the ingredients are from and made in Canada. Thanks Market Place.
Same.
I've always been furious that FOOD companies don't need to state where the F the food is actually from. That sounds insane and should be very easy, at least for a responsible company. I'm extremely disappointed in our government.
Harper lied to Canadians when he said he would make suppliers label where the apples were from. He also implied it wouldn't just be apples but he never lived up to his promise and neither has the Liberal government.
Hopefully CBC Marketplace will stir up enough people to pressure the government.
Trudeau hasn't done much of anything. At least he didn't change all of the military uniforms again.
@@3TYKX lol they certainly lit a fire under the government with their story on the CRA scam. 😂
There you go vote pc lol
We need a new party in power to shake up the establishment
Yup... its and its like the old market place (prob 20 yrs ago) about the tankers used for trucking juice not being cleaned correctly.
I really enjoy watching your videos. Your tutorials are so informative. Please do not stop posting these kind of videos. You certainly earned my like and subscription.
Why am I watching a video about Canada’s apple juice at 1am when I live in Scotland 😂🥴🥴
Thinking the exact same thing but newcastle as hurricane dennis bllws my fence down 😂😂😂
I don't see why people expect produce to come locally... I really don't see a difference where they're from. The problem is how it's processed/grown if harmful practices are used
Beautifully Bree
If you don't know where your food comes from how can you ensure good processes and safe practices?
I can travel an hour outside my city and see apple trees...and small towns on hard times. I'd like to think all of my food meets regulations that my government has set but this way there's no accountability to anyone. You'd have to know the regulations of every country and whether they're even enforced.
@@rosestewart1606 Same, I live in Niagara and you have no idea how much fresh locally grown produced is thrown away if unsold.
@@maxdondada You have an excellent point. But, it still comes down to whether harmful practices are used and that isn't solely dependent on location origin. Technically we don't need to know.. just what's done to the apples. (I'm not advocating for ignorance on where our food comes from)
@@rosestewart1606 you're totally right. But I feel like this argument is futile. Whether eating at a restaurant, going to a friend's home or buying apply juice, we don't know whether acceptable practices are always used 100% of the time
I love cbc marketplace, and whenever they have a question regarding Canadian laws and policy a representative from the affiliated bereau is always willing to discuss it on camera. It also seems that whenever they ask the private sector to discuss their actions and policies, they get a shady response, often its lying or avoiding the interviewer altogether.
This was quite informative. Thanks Market place 👍👍
Where do you think apples are from?
The Apple store! 😂🤣
I wonder why americans making fun of canadians...
Consumers do have some responsibility in this, not gonna lie :P Of course the companies too, but the consumers still buy it, and the companies think the consumers are fine with it
"you can put it on your desk" lol
im from brazil, and for some reason, im watching canadian marketplace. gotta say, i would love to have something like that here! thanks for sharing it.
I am from Argentina and love Marketplace (and the lady anchor). Keep up the good work!
7:48 "...Just put it on the label!"
The herbicide 2/4/D has been outlawed in USA and Canada, but sold to many third world countries. So guess what you are consuming! They also have an industry regulation(guess who made it up), that states if a company in Canada spends 51 % of the value of the product value that they call it a product of Canada. For example if these industries buy fish from China for 10 cents, they make sure that they spend 11 cents to have it processed in Canada, then call it a product of Canada, leading consumers to believe it was caught in Canadian waters by Canadian fisherman.
I NZ has similiar laws, hence why I'd never eat anything imported from NZ as I live in Australia. Things imported from NZ could actually be from China.
2/4/D is a plant killer.
You obviously have no idea how herbicide or pesticide works.
lifesabitch90
Listen up bird breath. Did I say somewhere that 24D wasn't a herbicide, I was stating how it was outlawed in many states in the USA and Canada, but the research(still being debated) showed it was toxic to people and animals. But third world countries are still using this poison and sending their product to America and Canada.
Since when was 2,4-D banned in Canada and what does it have to do with apple juice?
a few years ago a supermarket in the netherlands had a (luckily very shortlived) practice of putting a little story with pictures on the back of products of small family businesses owners that produced the same product that you were buying (so a dairy farmer on the milk, apple farmer on the apples etc)
Like "this is farmer so-and-so, his wife and their two children, this family has been running the family farm and farming apples ever since his dad has left it to him and the farm has been in the family from the mid 1800's... etc"
nowhere on the package did it state that this product was made by this farmer, it just stated that this farmer also produced milk, just like the milk you were buying.
As soon as you realized this, it was quite comical to read the labels, and see how much work had gone into formulating the story in a way that it was always implied but never mentioned that the family farm in the spotlight had anything to do with the product in your hands....
Very informative, thank you for pushing the boundaries, apple trees overseas maybe sprayed with banned insecticides in North America as they have different standards, the chemical residues linger in the fruit.
Exactly, holding local farmers to high standards for environmental reasons is worthy(and not to be lessoned) but if the result in another country over producing in a environmental destructive way...is a dangerous situation for that country and their neighbors and the world
11;05 she’s definitely paid and defending those companies.
12:14 “Canada has a lot of water!”
Well done. Thank you for sharing it.
This is actually really cool. I had never thought about where my juices originated. Thank you for teaching me that the US labels the country of origin!
10:56 Have they actually lied about where the ingredients came from? Well orange lady, if one day you're put to the stand to give testimony, you can tell the judge that you're not lying, you're only concealing the truth.
Allene Demetri is a waste of time and money. This is a bit like the story that mentions Captain Highliner fish comes from Viet Nam but since most of the work like cutting, breading and packaging is done in Canada Captain Highliner is a Canadian Product.
I was so excited to see my country here lol😂😂😂😂 greetings for Chile, great video😘🇨🇱
Thank you marketplace for everything you do it really helps make Canada a better place!
9:07 shinniest apples I've ever seen. Seem unnatural
They're typically washed and waxed at the processing facility. Those both just came off the line, so they are freshly washed and waxed
1:35 "...the ground.."
:: face palm ::
I have never been to Canada, but I love these videos 😂
According to Sun-Rype, their apples in their products come from the Okanagan or, if demand necessitates, Washington State. Being based in apple country I'm glad to know that.
Look at the shiny apples she's eating.thats not natural either.
Exactly my thoughts lol. Covered in preservative wax. Apples like that are up to a year old in grocery stores (when coated)
They are Mcintosh apples.. they are naturally shiny. You can even google mcintosh apple on tree and see that even while still growing on the tree, they are very shiny, so obviously after a bath (as we see in one scene of this episode) before being packaged for sale, they are going to be even more shiny with the environmental dirt/contaminants washed off.
@@Febreezy very naive reply. All you have to do is simply ask yourself.. "if apples are coated in wax to last for up to a year in a grocery store.. then why do they still shrivel and go bad in my house within a couple of weeks?"
@@LycanWitch It's not an urban legend. I used to work in a Supermarket. Produce can be upwards of 6 months old, it ages slowly because it's kept in big fridges below 5 degrees Celsius, usually at 1-2 C. This helps maintain the fruit or vegetable and slow the ripening process.
It goes bad within a couple of weeks because it's already so old.
Did you know there are different kinds of apples?
Before watching the video im going to guess it's China 🤔
Thanks for this great reporting.
This is an amazing series!
welcome to the real world LOL almost everything is imported here when it comes to local grown its fair to say we only have WEED
i believe that in Canada there needs to be strict clear food and juice consumer labelling system laws in place like USA . Which food company . Must truly disclosure where the juices is made example origin China ,USA ,Canada and New zealand
Frank Wu So what does it mean it came from other countries?
OMG I love them apples that they were eating one of my favorites what an eye opener about this juice🍎🍎🍎
Thanks. This was actually a good episode and I liked that the producers offered a physical packaging example instead of just the common whining.
🍎
I'll never forget when my friend drank a No Name juice box & he sucked up a decomposed worm through the straw!
Nasty. I don't really trust no name products myself.
🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
Extra Vitamins.
Possibly organic apples from Canada -- no pesticides = more worms.
This show will never run out of material, iconic program.
thats a very good segment thank u
My choice, I don’t buy that crap.
You Canadians need everything to be from Canada. I swear, this channel makes up problems.
ghee buttersnaps clearly missing the point here. As others in the video pointed out ‘just label the products accurately’
5:01 Apple Casually Rolls Away
That face at 10:35 says it all!!
I dont want a china product. Plain and simple as that. Sneaky advertisment is the problem
WildandLiving The problem are butthurt Canadians.
Then buy Canadian apples and juice them yourself.
WildandLiving Fear Mongering Canadian are scared lost of jobs and think they will poisoned Canadian it just Ignorance.
Where do many of your products come from? China.
Your phone is probably a China product. 😂
R Chinese apples poison? Like what does it matter
GamingWithYoshi the point is that they’re lab grown cheap hydroponic apples. If they’re coming from China, it’s because of the juice manufacturers bottom line. Either say that they’re half a cent apples on the label, or source them from a quality local farm where the farmers are being paid for a quality product.
I can read Chinese, and I found an article about Chinese apple farmers creating their rotten apples into juice and selling it overboard (Western countries and other parts of Asia) while the good apples stayed and sold in China
@Amy W ik I'm baffled
That's not the point she was making yoshi (offended Chinese man)
She said example: if they did come from china they wouldn't be as fresh if they come from canada. Dufus
@@Viziry I'm not Chinese I'm iranian (dufus) and second they are painting the image that if the apples arent from canada they are they are unsafe to the consumer which has no merit.
Great story. Thanks, CBC!
A few years ago, I hauled trailer-loads of frozen apple mash from Vancouver docks to a big name apple juice plant in the Okanagan Valley. The origin of the barrels was South Africa.
Poland has the best apples
Kurwa
vitriol or debate
Weaboo
Poland has good apples and potatoes.
The apples in Mexico are honestly the best in my opinion
@@pastelqwq1360 wtf are you taking about¿
I don’t believe it’s acceptable to anonymously sell Chinese food product into either Canada or the US, or anywhere for that matter. Chinese have no concept of hygiene, and don’t give a damn about for safety. They already killed many dogs here in the states by including poison in dog food, then they have also been found to include lead in children’s toys. Corporate greed!!
Yup
Thank you marketplace for informing Canadian consumers
I love this show. It's eye opening!
Do you have to worry about where the apples comes from or you have to worry more about the juice being 💯 apple juice because those apples juices are not real.
China's quality control and quality assurance is second only to Ethiopia. The Canadian food and protection agency is not here to protect Canadians but, to provide double talk. So instead of clear labeling we need to learn to read the baffling labels. Labeling 101. "THE INMATES ARE RUNNING THE ASYLUM"
Brett Schuyler has an infectious smile. Just seeing him smile makes me smile.
i love your show. keep it up.
I wouldn't buy apple juice sourced from China or India. Only from places with high food standards like Australia, New Zealand and USA for example.
yo Alex You wouldn’t buy apples from kashmir either? I’m sure their food standards are quite high
wowowow u think USA has high food standards
Johnny Cade hahaha ikr, like they are any better
Lol USA has some LOW standards buddy
@@a..n.m8465 Actually, for the most part, The United States has good food standards. The FDA has laws and practices in place so you at least know the minimum quality you get, while the quality is often better. It is best to not buy from big corporations if good quality is what you want, however. For some reason, it is hard for many people to admit this.
The stupidest thing in China is that most people who buy the most expensive imported juice from Canada and the US turn out these apples are made in China.
Mitchell Gao So ? They didn’t all came from China you prick.
Most people believe what they believe as a fact. For some reason, they believe that the fruits from the US, Cannada, Australia and New Zealand are healthier, more natural with the best quality than any other countries, and they think these juices are made of the fruits from these countries, that's why the prices of these juices are highest in China. if these fruits are not from these countries, why would people spend a lot on these products? Besides, some of the European and South American products are also natural, healthier and even much cheaper than the local products in China.@@jojochannel4327
Thank you for the great info. Food awareness is such a big part of our life now, it is very interesting to find out how something simple like labeling is handle so differently from different part of the world. I'm surprised to find out that Canada isn't as transparent as I thought it would be. If you asked me before watching this, I thought Canada would be more advance in this area than US.
Loved this segment...learnt a lot...now I'll drink water and eat the apples grown in Canada. Thanks Marketplace.
I dont really understand why would you wanna know where the apple concentrate is coming from. If it is cheap to import from China why would companies buy Canadian concentrate and increase their costs which would at the end increase prices. Chinese, Chilean etc. apple concentrate is actually lowering the prices. As long as companies do not claim their concentrate is from Canada there is nothing wrong and Canada Choice does not really mean 'FROM CANADA' If the public thinks so it is their ignorance. And what difference does it really make you dont need to know the origin of apples and why would you want to. It is the same apple in China and Canada. PS not from Canada
11:00 That "regulatory" woman did not surprise me one bit. Years ago I tried to bring to light the fact that a local maple syrup/Toffee shack was tapping not only maples but also OAK and WALNUT and ASH trees to collect the sap. The regulatory people did not properly follow up and the place - to this day - continues to tap and serve "maple toffee" and sell "maple syrup" products .... all while tapping a mix of all sorts of tree.
*The Canadian government needs to make laws requiring labels that identify food grown or raised in Canada!*
Yes. Just like the USA labels that very specifically say they can come from anywhere in the world. lol
You know that because of competition the price would make the sourcing questionable.Many people don't know that fruit is sprayed with toxic chemicals right up to harvest.And then when
juiced that residue from out side of fruit ends up in the juice.
You know, I really wish the USA had a show like this!!! But we don't!!! Love what you do!!!
I buy cider from the local farm stands and that is made right here from local apple orchards. So fresh it'll give you the 'runs' if you drink too much.
12:30 "Hard to beat that crunch, eh?"
Those apples on the trees look so good!
