On July 1, 2011 the Ontario government introduced new regulations with regard to food safety, grading, packaging and labelling of fruit and vegetables, honey and maple products.

Ontario Regulation 119/11 - Produce, Honey and Maple Products under the Food Safety and Quality Act, 2001 replaced Regulations 378 - Grades, Fruit and Vegetables, 384 - Honey and 386 - Maple Products in the Farm Products Grades and Sales Act.

The information for this link is currently being updated to reflect the new changes.
