Leighton Walters, owner of Found Coffee in Toronto, faces removal of Vegemite from his shelves after a Canadian food inspection deemed it non-compliant with Health Canada regulations. Despite stopping its sale, Walters contests the decision, garnering support from Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. The case highlights discrepancies in Canadian food import regulations, exemplified by the acceptance of Marmite, while Vegemite—a staple in Australia—was restricted. Albanese expressed his affection for Vegemite and criticized the inconsistency, igniting the discussion on cultural food imports in Canada.
I stand with the Aussie cafe owner. I love Vegemite. It's a good thing. I did hear the report on that. It's rather odd that they're letting Marmite in, which is rubbish, frankly.
Leighton Walters, owner of Found Coffee, has been importing Vegemite for five years without issue before the CFIA's recent determination, which he contests as inconsistent.
