Aussie expat given green light to serve Vegemite in Toronto cafe [Video]

“This is a massive win for us as a small business. We are so proudly Australian and we are so grateful to every single one of you that gave us words of encouragement and support,” Walters told Today this morning.

“This little thing,” he added, holding a jar of Vegemite.

“Who would have thought it would be such a massive point of contention?”

The fight to keep serving Vegemite was aided by Albanese, who Walters said “opened doors” for the CFIA to backflip on its ruling.

“Of course the PM did a fantastic job kind of opening doors, getting it in the conversation and honestly, as an Aussie expat on the other side of the world, just building their dream coffee shop it’s very easy to feel far from home,” he added.
