A note stating "Removal of U.S. Products from the NSLC Following the Province’s announcement on Tuesday, March 4, the NSLC will stop selling U.S. products. Impacted products will be removed from our shelves in-store and their online listings will be removed from our website. U.S. products are those that are made, manufactured, and/or produced in the U.S., regardless of where the product is shipped from. For example, this would include a wine made in California and labelled "Product of USA/California," regardless of whether it ships to the NSLC directly from the U.S. or a location within Canada. Products made in Canada will not be removed. If you are wondering whether a specific product is impacted, please refer to the criteria above and continue to check our website for the latest information."
