Today, more than ever before, a growing number of people are experiencing the
sweet richness of bison meat. Becoming increasingly more popular in restaurants
and dinner tables, bison is regularly part of a memorable eating experience.

Bison meat is a highly nutrient dense food because of the proportion of
protein, fat, mineral, and fatty acids to its caloric value. |
|

|
|
| |
Bison are raised naturally without the use of growth hormones, stimulants,
antibiotics or animal by-products. |

"Local" Food Claims
Know where the food you buy comes from
In the coming weeks, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) will
undertake an initiative to modernize its food labelling approach. The CFIA—with input from consumers,
industry and other stakeholders—will conduct a review of food labelling
regulations, guidelines and policies including claims such as use of the term
"local".
In the interim, the CFIA is adopting an interim policy which recognizes "local" as:
- food produced in the province or territory in which it is sold, or
- food sold across provincial borders within 50 km of the originating province
or territory
