Apathy is a defining characteristic of an American. I can assure you that the overwhelming majority of people where I live absolutely will not purchase a single American good. All the grocery stores are pulling American food off the shelves. The ones that stay on have warning labels near them that they come from the US.

The Canadian products are very well labelled. They’ve changed how they stock items to hide the American goods (if there are any left).

Even our own local grocery store Facebook pages have to disable comments because of the anger they get for the few remaining American products on the shelves (now majorly discounted since they’re nearing their expiry dates).

I haven’t seen this much change since COVID but even our lunatics are against America (save for our very special 15% or so of the population who aren’t fully conscious).

You will be made to feel pain and it won’t stop after any tariffs are lifted (if they ever get lifted). America and American is a dirty word now even to apolitical everyday Canadians. Y’all have permanently lost an ally/acquaintance.

You’ve got no cards here, America. Now say thank you and sorry.

Friends who work in retail are constantly getting asked the origin of products now, seems like it's actually wide spread

I'm certain of one thing, American media is going to downplay and try to hide as much of this as they can from the citizens to pretend everything is perfectly fine, they aren't going to publish any stats on this or else face the wrath of the Fourth Reich. The average American doesn't pay attention to what's going on in the world or politics or anything like that, so this is going to hit like a tidal wave. I'm sadly seeing the same as you, but it hasn't surprised me, ever since 2016 I've come to know that humans have no maximum capacity for ignorance, greed, or hatred.

I'm so glad it's the one I already buy. It's way better than silk.

Retailers get paid a product placement fee for this. This is how the big players keep smaller brands out of stores.

No way they will turn down money. Just don’t purchase it and advocate for clearer labelling for food products.

I get really upset when meat goes to waste. Like, I'm not even a vegetarian, but it's still so fucked up to slaughter a creature for its meat and then turn around and throw that into a landfill because it didn't sell.

That contract would also have display requirements that wouldn't allow this. Often reps from these companies come in to the stores and do their own product management on the shelves, turning and presenting them attractively to the consumer. You can sometimes see someone in a branded outfit who doesn't work for the store messing with the stock.

Where is that brand sold?

I mean, if you subscribe to the food recalls email list you'll realize that you're missing tons of recalls that happen every day for products that come from all over the place...

Be honest that while I'd still buy earth's own if it wasn't as good, I don't find that at all, personally I like it better, their barista stuff is great too (but I totally just use the plain stuff most of the time)

I find their oat milk just does not foam worth a damn though unfortunately for us cappuccino and caffè latte lovers

My local store stopped stocking their soy milk a year so ago. They have a really good mixed oat/bean milk that I love though

Silk also had contamination issues. While Earth’s Own was fine.

They might be splitting stock between the dairy section and the natural foods / hippy section

A lot of it tends to be in the organic section - there are usually a few flavour variations of oat, almond, and soy. However, I usually find a bigger selection at Metro

Yeah, this is the best thing to do. Cartons of soy milk that can't be flipped should be rotated.
