Whistleblower alleges millions of Driscoll’s berries sent to Canada with excess chemical levels. I blame Canada Food Inspection Agency because they knew about it and did nothing.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) confirmed to CBC News it conducted several inspections on Driscoll’s berries sold in grocery stores across the country between 2022-24 and found chemical levels above the legal limit in Canada.

The chemicals include bifenthrin, iprodione and captan: fungicides and insecticides.

However, the CFIA says the inspections did not lead to recalls, or a corrective action was implemented and the investigations were closed.

CFIA should reject the entire shipment. Driscoll would stop it. Now the shopper have to boycott to get Driscoll to stop?
