Canada Attacks Cheese Smuggling

Canadian authorities arrested three men for smuggling cheese into Ontario, from the United States.

Over two hundred thousand dollars worth of cheese had been smuggled since the investigation began in January.

Once they had it over the border, they sold it to restaurants, making at least one hundred and sixty-five thousand dollars in profit.


Strict regulations from the Canadian dairy board combined with limited importation from other countries, cause high cheese prices for the country.



The three men can face jail time, as well as fines of up to 245.5% the value of the product.
