More and more people are calling out the accuracy of food weight labels versus what’s actually in a package. The Canada Food Inspection Agency shares with CBC the consequences a company can face when there's a discrepancy.

When it comes to your grocery items, have you ever found that you're not getting the amount on the label? Does the 500 grams you were promised weigh out at less? CBC's Marketplace is on the case and wants to hear what products are falling short. Get in touch at [email protected].
