Grocery Giants Face Fake Syrup Lawsuit | Edmonton News
Description
Fake maple syrup scandal just got bigger as grocery giants Metro, Sobeys, Loblaws, and Epicia face a class-action lawsuit for allegedly turning a blind eye to Steve Bourdeau’s adulterated syrup—blended with cane sugar and sold for as low as $4.99. Consumers like Maude Fraser-Jodoin are seeking refunds and $100 in damages, claiming stores were negligent for stocking the suspiciously cheap product. While Health Canada recalled Bourdeau’s syrup over spoilage and Quebec’s Agriculture Ministry investigates, retailers vow to fight back—though Loblaws hasn’t responded yet. This case could reshape how big chains vet products—and how consumers trust their shelves.
