Are country flags allowed to be used to indicate the country of origin for the main ingredient used in my prepacked food?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Food Regulations require the country of origin of the food to be declared on the label of a prepacked food. The country of origin is the country where the handling of the food last took place (for e.g. the last place where the food was packed into its primary packaging). The country of origin of the raw ingredient(s) used in the manufacture of the prepacked food may be declared on a voluntary basis provided that such manner of declaration does not mislead consumers into thinking that the country declared is the country of origin of the prepacked food, and that the information provided is truthful and can be substantiated.
