So, uhh…where’s the “both sides” to this? “High standards when it comes to food regulations” doesn’t work as an excuse for banning healthier food. That’s absurd.
Fortification can be used to manipulate some health rating systems. I don’t know what system Canada uses, but Health Star is particularly vulnerable to this. Basically you can make a product that’s high in fat / salt / sugar look better than it is by adding vitamins. So it makes some kind of sense to restrict fortification to certain classes of foods.
