4 Canadian Cheese Brands You Should Avoid Eating (3 Brands That Are 100% Cheese)
There is a legal definition for cheese in Canada.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency — the CFIA — sets the standard. Real cheese is made by coagulating milk with bacteria to form curd, draining the whey, and pressing it into a solid. Milk. Cultures. Salt. Rennet. That is cheese.
Under that standard — four of the most popular cheese products in Canadian grocery stores right now ARE NOT CHEESE.
That’s right, the cheese you eat – thinking it’s cheese, is not.
They are actually labelled as –– processed cheese product, or cheese food product, or process cheese spread.
Under CFIA regulations, those are all separate legal categories — because they do not meet the standard for real cheese.
And one of them — brand number three — contains an ingredient derived from wood pulp.
That’s right, wood shaving is currently used in cheese products in Canada.

I looked into it a couple of years ago when my mouth was always sore after using pre-shredded cheese or tablet supplements or medications. I asked several companies what is the source of their cellulose and not one of them was cagey nor skip a beat - they just freely came out and said, "LUMBER". 🤢😡
