MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE LOCAL APPLES
Did you know that one out of every two apples in grocery stores didn't grow in Quebec? That means one in two apples has traveled thousands of kilometers to reach the produce aisle, often more than tropical fruits like oranges or pineapples.
To make sure you're really buying apples from here, and not an exotic fruit by accident. Look for the Pommes Qualité Québec logo!
APPLE QUALITY STANDARDS QUEBEC
During visits to packing stations, inspectors check the quality of apples ready for shipment to stores. All packed apples are subject to sampling and inspection. Inspectors sample and examine the product to assess its quality.
LOOK FOR THEM!
To buy Pommes Qualité Québec in grocery stores, look for the Pommes Qualité Québec logo on each apple sold individually in the store, thanks to its sticker with its identification number (PLU code), which identifies the origin of the apples, or on the bags.
