VOIC is an industry group representing 95,000 soybean and canola growers, oilseed processors and makers of oilseed-based food products, such as soy and canola-based margarines and cooking oils with a combined annual contribution to Canada’s Gross Domestic Product of approximately $10 billion.
VOIC Members
Our members include the Canadian Canola Growers Association, the Ontario Soybean Growers, the Canola Council of Canada, the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association (representing ADM Agri-Industries Ltd., Bunge Canada, Canbra Foods Ltd. and Cargill Limited) and Unilever Canada.
VOIC believes urgent
action at both the federal and
provincial government levels is needed to combat the incidence of preventable,
diet-related chronic disease.
Specifically, we are calling for:
Reform of Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating to reflect current nutrition recommendations and to implement practical means to ensure the Guide is being used to improve the diet and health of Canadians;
Immediate removal of interprovincial barriers that restrict availability of healthful alternatives to high-in-saturated-fat foods.
