獲獎並未抵銷價格壓力

CBC採訪奶酪生產商及美國進口商，發現加拿大產品近年獲獎後雖受關注，8月起部分乳品面對的50%美國關稅卻壓低需求。佛蒙特州進口商表示，售價過高可能令顧客減少購買，繼而讓商店停止進貨；失去銷售位置後，恢復市場會更困難。

供應鏈共同分擔成本

安省Mariposa Dairy稱近80%產品出口美國，依賴其收購的約200家羊奶農場也受牽連。公司與農戶、經銷商分攤成本以維持上架，但認爲長期難以持續。進口商Gellert Global Group每年進口近8,000萬美元加拿大奶酪，面對接近4,000萬美元關稅賬單，並已訴諸法院。金額是該進口商的估計，不能當成全行業損失。

政治承諾尚未變成撤稅

受訪者對美國民主黨準備明年掌控國會後推動撤銷盟國關稅抱有希望，但報道時關稅並未因此自動終止。加拿大供應管理制度的穩定性獲部分進口商肯定，也持續遭特朗普批評；兩者屬於各方觀點，不應把優質個別產品推廣成所有奶品質量的普遍判斷。
