Consumers have a role to play. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has posted on its Web site a whole slew of measures and guidelines on how consumers should cook a product. It also says to be careful when consuming certain products.
When a label indicates that the product can be cooked in the microwave, it means that the item is ready to eat, and the microwave is used solely to heat it up. The microwave heats the product up but does not cook it. It is very important for the consumer to read the label to know how to use the product.
