So Canadian we
We’re proud that our yogurt has been made in Canada since 1972. We use dairy from Canadian farms because, like you, we want to know exactly what goes into the food we make. Sourcing milk from Canadian dairy farmers allows us to maintain our commitment to quality, while supporting fellow hard-working Canadians.
