I never by any products which does not expiry date especially eatables, sometimes back i bought PC chincken meat balls and check the carton I could not find exipry/ manufature date. The customer service also unable to answer my question. yesterday I bought one vaseline from shoppers drug mart and noticed there is no expiry date/ date of manufature. just say imported by uniliver canada. i think it should be made in china. when I enqiured from customer service they could not answer my question. Is there any regulatary body to make complain find out answers?
I have done this many times and in all instances, they were able to give me an expiry date.
Not sure if that was accurate or not, though !
And if a product was past it's date when you bought it, the store HAS to take it back.

I am learning new things regarding ice cream…. . I thought I knew.
I browsed and found out that Breyer's ice cream, Light, Vanilla is from Uniliver Canada. Not sure if they have imported or made in Canada. I should have checked it out where and when it was made. I have sent an email to Uniliver enquiring about it. Not sure if they are going to respond.
BTW, do the stores like Loblaw or Walmart carry Baskin Robbins or Haagendaaz?

Most of ingredients in commercial ice creams will be the same, regardless of manufacturer.
You may find the premium brands like Basking Robbins and Haagen Daaz more flavourful.
They use full fat cream which adds to the flavour (and price).
However, the fillers, preservatives, etc. will be the same.
If you want to avoid this type of "franken-food", the only option is to make it yourself at home.

Too bad, tasty and healthy don't go together 
This will help you bring clarity about Made in Canada label food regulation.
http://www.healthycanadians.ca/pr-rp/cfli-icepa_e.html
This regulation is effective Dec 31, 2008. But food products made using ingredients imported prior to this date will be in the market for long time.
Plus how Health Canada monitors the implementation of this regulation is going to be a question.
There are strict food laws in Canada but the mechanism to implement them is poor. Food products in ethnic markets is an example of how importers go around these regulations.
Reading ingredients declaration is a good habit. I always avoid food products if I see too many chemicals like sulfates, phosphates, modified ingredients, artificial colors and flavors in ingredient declaration.
