GOVERNMENT & POLICY

How should Canadians see the actual Canadian ingredient content of food products?

Clearly, consistently and at a glance.

MAPLE Score™ is a privately developed, voluntary food-origin transparency framework. It provides one comparable percentage showing Canadian ingredient origin by ingoing weight, while separately identifying processing location and brand ownership.

THE POLICY GAP

Canada has origin rules. It does not have one clear number consumers can use to compare Canadian ingredient content across products.

MAPLE Score™ provides that number—while keeping processing location and ownership separate.
