I recently had the experience that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency asked me to redo one of my labels because the line that said "Canada No. 1" was not of a certain minimum letter size.  And yet I note that on several different brands of honey that say "Product of Argentina and Canada" that line can be any size and is on several major brands is one half the size of the "Canada No. 1" line, and tucked away where it is not overly visible.   So what is the consumer going to see:  "Canada" in big letters and "Argentina and Canada" in little letters.   And that is according to regulations.    Grrrrr.....
