Description

This hyperlink leads to a CBC news story about Quebec's decision to repeal its margarine legislation. This legislation (which was similar to legislation in other provinces) required manufacturers of margarine to ensure that the product's colour was sufficiently different from that of butter to ensure that consumers could not confuse the two. Quebec was the last Canadian province to repeal margarine legislation. This CBC news story reports on the history of margarine regulation in the province, including the legal battles that preceded the repeal of the legislation.
