Is Your Food Safe?

Vancouver and Richmond are excellent places to dine on international cuisine. If you're looking to buy food to create your own special dishes this is the place to be.

We're lucky to be in BC, because our BC Agriculture Council has set some of the highest standards for food safety and quality.

Garnet Estell, President of the BC Agriculture Council is quoted,
"We have food safety programs in Canada and BC that are second to none..."

The problem comes when we get our food from other countries. Many countries do not share our passion or concern for food safety.

The Vancouver Sun reported that US Centers for Disease Control found that of all imported foods causing illness in the US almost 45% came from Asia and most of it was seafood.

What this means for us is simple, BUY LOCALLY PRODUCED FOOD when possible. Obviously not all our food can be grown or produced locally so then be diligent in checking it's freshness and how it's been stored and displayed.
