I'm going to start calling this mapleturfing. Fuck US goods pretending to be Canadian.

Campbells' soup sold in Canada now has a maple leaf on the label. Their website has had a maple leaf next to their logo since October 2023.

Screenshot of "prepared in Canada" label here:

Campbell's has not had Canadian manufacturing since 2018 when they shut down their last Canadian plant.

Attached: 1 image Worth noting there are a few version of Campbell's soup can packaging out there so I took a screenshot of this one for sale on amazon.ca (there's a double whammy for you). Note that the address on this Campbell's soup can is just a last-mile distribution facility. There has been no production at this location since 2018. It is not, in fact. "prepared in Canada". #maplewashing #mapleturfing #BuyCanadian #Canada

@LiamEgan @ianrogers @lester the quality has gone down so much, I stopped buying their stuff anyway. They changed the recipe of the cream of mushroom soup and it tastes like some weird filler now. It had tasted pretty much the same for at least 60 years. It was one of my comfort foods. Now it’s just annoyingly flavourless.

@JoBlakely @LiamEgan @ianrogers I have been wondering about that. The last few times I started adding hot sauce to the soup to make it better, but now really need to switch it up for something else, or make my own

@lester @LiamEgan @ianrogers I’ve added mushroom seasoning (from Asian grocers) truffle butter, more mushrooms…it’s not worth it. Going to learn to make my own mushroom soup. It was so nice to have something easy before. Now it tastes like cream of corn starch.

@JoBlakely @lester @LiamEgan @ianrogers "Cream of corn starch" Good one! My wife and I used to like open face mushroom sandwiches with toast, mushroom soup, bacon, and cheese lightly broiled in the oven. For quite awhile we've been thinking there's something off and resorted to adding more salt—not a great idea given how much sodium is already in this combination. Needless to say, we seldom have it anymore. I like the idea of homemade soup. We've done that before. Time to do it again.

That sounds amazing.

@JoBlakely I told my wife about your corn starch comment and she totally agreed. She said she'd add a little thyme to spice up the soup a bit, but now the soup is so bland she's had to cut back or all we'd taste would be the thyme.
