Leighton Walters is an Australian expat who was told he could not serve Vegemite at his Canadian Cafe because of the added Vitamin B in the spread.

However, there is some good news in Walters fight against the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Leighton Walters told Luke Bradnam on 4BC Breakfast, "About 36 hours ago that the CFIA had a change of heart and basically gave us the tentative short-term thumbs up to put Vegemite back on the menu."

"It is a win for small business and a win for Australia."

"Don't touch Vegemite."

"I said there are bigger issues in Canada than worrying about added B vitamins in a fermented yeast extract that's such an iconically Australian brand," Mr Walters said.
