Canada has resolved a dispute, allowing the sale of Vegemite to resume in Toronto after a brief ban. The Australian Prime Minister thanked his Canadian counterpart for resolving the issue. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency initially ordered a Toronto café to remove Vegemite from its shelves due to labeling and vitamin fortification concerns. The agency later reversed its decision after assessment. The incident, dubbed "Vegemite-gate," sparked diplomatic attention and highlighted the cultural significance of the spread. The café owner, who was born with spina bifida, viewed the issue as a personal fight.
