With recent changes in trade policies, many Canadians are rethinking the origin of their organic foods. If you're a health-conscious eater or a vegan committed to supporting suppliers outside of the USA, now might be the ideal time to explore products that align with your values—and your budget.

What Are the New Tariffs?

Today, the USA has started imposing tariffs on many Canadian goods. In turn, Canada is rolling out retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products, which could drive up prices for consumers on both sides of the border. For more details on which products are affected, check out the official government announcement here.

Why Consider Non-USA Sourced Organic Foods?

Many Canadians are looking for alternatives that steer clear of these tariffs. Here’s why choosing non-USA sourced products might be right for you:

• Cost-Effective: By purchasing products not sourced from the USA, you can potentially avoid the additional costs imposed by tariffs.
• Support Diverse Suppliers: Shifting your focus away from US-based items helps diversify your sources, which can contribute to a more resilient food system.
• Stay True to Your Values: For those who prefer to avoid supporting American-sourced goods, this is an opportunity to support other regions and suppliers.
• Transparent Sourcing: Many non-USA sourced products come with detailed traceability, allowing you to know exactly where your food is coming from.
