    The metal plate has gibberish engraving. I don’t see why this would need faking because there was a recent boycott campaign against Loblaws grocery stores in Canada but I guess its just laziness. or camera’s built in AI upscaling

      It’s not fake. The handle on the top works, and the plate is from a real Canadian company

      It’s not gibberish. Just shit job on the engraving. The info on the right matches the label on the left.

      Top is company, the long mostly gibberish looking one is the serial or id number.
