The Ultimate List of Canadian Made
Want to shop local and support Canadian businesses? You’re in the right place! Buying Canadian made products means getting great quality while helping homegrown brands thrive. Whether you’re after clothing, beauty, home essentials, or food (hello, maple syrup!), this list has you covered.
From well-known brands to hidden gems, here’s your ultimate guide to Canadian made products. Let’s shop local and keep our dollars close to home!
Now, when you’re out and about shopping, I recommend you read labels and do a bit of research. Shopping Canadian can be incredibly nuanced. For example, Lay’s and General Mills are American companies, however, there are production plants in Canada employing Canadians. They also use Canadian ingredients. So my recommendation is to buy how you feel comfortable with what you know.
Here is how to tell if something was made in Canada:
From Vancouversun.com: Anything at the grocery store that is labelled as a ‘product of Canada’ means all of its major ingredients, where it was processed, and the labour used to produce it are Canadian or are located in Canada.
A product labelled “made in Canada” means just that: The item was last processed or had its “last substantial transformation” in Canada but its ingredients may be a mix of both domestic and imported ingredients.

As always, I appreciate your help in adding brands and retailers that I have missed. Canada has so many gems!
I mentioned above that buying Canadian can be incredibly nuanced. I firmly believe that you have to make the best shopping decisions for your family values. This might mean only buying from Canadian owned companies or brands. Or perhaps you feel comfortable buying from an American owned brand/company as long as products are produced in Canada and/or use Canadian ingredients and materials.
Also, it goes without saying, but supporting your local Mom & Pop shops, farmer’s markets and even buying from your neighbour is hugely beneficial.
All that said, here are a couple more places where you can support Canadian via American owned companies:
Saul Good Gift Co. (https://www.itsaulgood.com/) is Canada’s destination for locally-sourced gift baskets. Made for personal and B2B gift giving, 97% of products are Made in Canada. Exclusively sourcing from small Canadian businesses since 2006, we handpick meaningful products from the finest local artisans. With names that celebrate Canadian and Indigenous culture, like “The Keener” and “Turtle Island,” Saul Good Gift Co. creates an authentic Canadian gift experience. A Certified B Corp, we support a network of amazing small-batch makers, social enterprises, and communities. All gift boxes are recyclable and made of 100% recycled paper.
Looking For Canadian Bakers Yeast (for bread)
I’m down to my last bit of yeast and I’m pretty sure Fleisman’s is American. The other 2 brands I found on Amazon appear to be American as well.
I’m not great at keeping a sour dough starter, so I hope someone can help. I’m in Ontario (gta) if there is a retailer I can buy from .
Thanks!
M&M Food Market is a proudly Canadian Company.
I am glad Canadians have finally woke up to the list of Canadian Products made in Canada! Beats the USA market Hands down and happy to keep our money north of the Border until Donald and Elon Resign for Good. No more supporting Elon who would rather invest in Technology then People. He’s not helping others… or People… as people want to continue to think and utilize the bodies we have… No thank You… Canada Strong and Stronger going forward!

Thank you for compiling all this.
Soapstones in Bracebridge, Ontario is 100% Canadian and fantastic products!!
I am looking for a disposable underwear for seniors that is made in Canada. I am having trouble finding a brand.
Hi there,
My name is Christina and I work for Bebbington Industries. We are the manufacturer of the popular brand “Down East” (sold in Sobeys, Superstore and various markets and health food stores across the Maritimes). We are in the midst of getting the “Nova Scotia Loyal” labels on our products, which we are very excited about. I am just wondering how I can go about having our Down East brand on your website? https://bebbingtonindustries.com/collections/down-east-cleaning-products
Thank you!

Lays potatoe chips are made with Canadian Potatoes and made in 4 locations across Canada..read the package..one of my distance relatives sells potatoes to one of the factories
Yes! I mentioned near the beginning of the article that Lays uses Canadian potatoes and are produced in Canada. But they are an American owned company.
I’m glad info about Lay’s products are becoming more well known in our efforts to buy Canadian. Even though Lays is an American brand, the fact they manufacture here providing jobs. I looked on their package and it did not specify they use Canadian potatoes..
I was a die hard Old Dutch consumer. Thinking they were a company using Canadian product and provided employment. Thankfully a post in Reddit “Buy Canadian” provided details whereby I will never buy from them again. Their American branch donated heavily to the GOP campaigns..
Is there a Canadian made cereal company, most seem to be made and manufactured in the US.
Madeinca.ca gives a detailed breakdown of the company’s history, current Canadian ownership, and details on where the products are made and sold. Having a provenance can legitimize a brand’s Canadian identity.
Here is another cosmetics brand and a link to another made-in-Canada site: https://madeinca.ca/personal-care-lush/
Are there any All Canadian insurance companies for home and suto
Also a place to find mental health support that is Canadian based is https://theralist.ca. Lots of the websites you might use to find a therapist are not Canadian. This is the only Canadian website to help you find a therapist.
Wow. Amazing list Taya. Thank you.
I also believe LUS BRANDS hair products are Canadian. I use their shampoo line.
Wow, that is a fantastic list! A lot of work! Thank you! 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
Thank you so much for compiling this list!
I hope it’s helpful!
What about Sail.ca for outdoor gear and clothing?
I guess I won’t starve, if we have a tariff war !
Piazza Delight is Canadian and Atlantic owned.
