A supply chain expert who has advised various governments and agencies says the threat of food terrorism is real – and he theorized that could be at play in the Canada-China dispute.

When Canadians reach for a jar of honey or sizzle bacon to a crisp in the morning, terrorism is likely the last thing on their minds.

However, there is no concrete evidence indicating that the Chinese government had a hand in the fraudulent certificate. "I think that this is a possibility in theory, but I really don't understand why the Chinese government would feel it necessary to do this, given everything they have at their disposal," he said.

In an interview with CTV National News last Thursday, Keogh said criminals will copy Canadian branding and packaging then substitute the quality product inside with their own cheaper, substandard product. Because of eroding consumer confidence in the 7.66 million kilograms of Canadian beef that were exported to China in the first four months of 2019 alone – products that sell at a premium in Chinese markets – Keogh said the Canadian economy will take a hit.

"The origin of the inauthentic export certificate, and the products associated with that certificate, is unknown. This matter has been referred to law enforcement authorities. As the investigation is ongoing, it is premature to speculate, therefore we cannot comment further at this time," she said.

Let's dream up more shit, 'labour terrorism', 'healthcare terrorism', 'sexual terrorism', 'equality terrorism', 'political terrorism', 'fashion terrorism', 'toilet terrorism', ' liberal terrorism', 'conservative terrorism', 'climate terrorism', 'media terrorism' through twitter

It's actually called 'Food Fraud'.

Canada's behavior has been despicable through out this whole affair.

Well, buyers do not have buy cuz sellers say they must. Disputes are common and if this process is flawed then it's better never to buy from that source again, ever.

More like 'Industrial espionage.' We're small fish in a big pond to these guys.

Xi called Trudeau naive. It’s your call.

There goes my godamn pay check.

Do not let the commies have their way. Stand up against their non human rights society!

Food terrorism? It's simple. China is pushing (re Wanzhou) and like a spinless reed of grass Trudeau is bending over.

Hogwash! It’s blackmail!

Communists aren’t your friends.

It's a dumb excuse, but they don't *have* to buy it if they don't want to.
