Pearl Milling is Canadian. I’ve been using it since the first tariff wave. It’s just as good. Yes, I’m back to turning “Product of USA” upside down.
Sunny Boy is Canadian. Based in Edmonton with their mill in Camrose, they source and manufacture locally. Great pancake mix and great porridge.
If you can’t get it locally, ask your store manager to bring it in.
My gf works in grocery store and this pisses her off. Job is hard and thankless enough as is.
The people who are boycotting US can read labels. Turning boxes upside down doesn’t help anything
And people wonder why prices rise. When they do childish stuff like this for internet points, or placing foods in other aisles.
They also don’t know their brands, because the pearl milling company is a rebrand of a US product, and No Name and Presidents Choice are both Canadian, owned by the same corporation.
Grocery stores can hire more staff to deal with it or take the hint and start clearly labeling (or better yet, not restocking) American products.
I did a quick google. Hope this helps people’s choices
“Made in Canada” means that at least 51% of the product’s costs originate in Canada and the last substantial transformation occurred there. In contrast, “Product of Canada” requires that 98% of the product’s materials and production be of Canadian origin.
thank you for your service
I’m disappointed by how some grocery stores are still giving so much frontage to US products
It is a US brand, owned by a US company. The factory and/or ingredients are the Canadian thing about it.
The No Name, and Presidents Choice brands are both Canadian, and owned by the same Canadian company.
Thank you to all for the education. So, “Product of Canada”, might be owned by Americans? How can Canadians tell the difference??
Pearl Milling Company products are just a rebrand from Aunt Jemima.
Ok then. Just did some research. WTF?? So, Product of Canada does NOT mean what we think. I think we need new guidelines: Product of Canada needs to mean: Canadian Company. And, thank you to all for the education! Most appreciated!
“Product of Canada” means the manufacturing happened in Canada and the majority of ingredients are of Canadian origin. It does not have any relevance to who owns the company.
For me , purchasing decisions happen on a sliding scale with “product of Canada, Canadian owned company” at the top of the scale, and “made in USA” at the bottom.
But between those extremes there are things like: “made in Canada by foreign owned company”, “made using Canadian ingredients”, and “made in any country that isn’t the USA” which can be acceptable choices if a better category isn’t available.
Wait, no name and presidents choice are made in USA?
They are Canadian, but it might be cheaper to source outside of Canada.
