Canadian BBQ & Grill Sauces Brands

Diana Sauce is made in Canada. Neal Brothers, Taste of the Okanagan, and The Garlic Box make barbecue sauce here too. Kraft Heinz of the United States owns Diana, and the page names no plant city. Neal Brothers is in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Taste of the Okanagan cooks in Kelowna. The Garlic Box works in Formosa, Ontario. Bull's-Eye, Sweet Baby Ray's, Stubb's, Kraft, and President's Choice are grocery names, and none of those pages names a Canadian BBQ plant.

Which brands of BBQ & grill sauces are made in Canada?

9 of the 12 top brands of BBQ & grill sauces we scored are made in Canada, across 16 products on fyiCanada. Brands with the strongest Canadian roots come first, so a famous name with weak Canadian ties doesn’t get the top spot. How the fyiCanada score works.

2. Taste of the Okanagan

95/100 · Very strong Canadian ties

Canadian-made, mostly Canadian inputs (Kelowna, British Columbia)

Head office in Kelowna, British ColumbiaFounded 1995

Taste of the Okanagan is Canadian owned and made in Kelowna, British Columbia. Mother and daughter Linda Murray and Kelly Hale founded the company in 1995 and still blend and pack the jars. The homepage says the products are made in BC from local Okanagan ingredients. They buy from small valley growers, so a poor peach harvest can empty a flavour.

Brand ownership: Linda Murray and Kelly Hale (Canada)
Ultimate parent: Taste of the Okanagan Specialty Foods Inc., Kelowna
Manufacturing: Kelowna, British Columbia
Ingredient origin: Okanagan Valley fruit and vegetables
Official claim: Handcrafted artisan sauces and jellies made in BC

Fire in the Kitchen is founder-owned and labelled Made in Canada since 2009. Christian Horner writes the blends and sells them in more than 1,000 Canadian retailers, with the densest shelf set in Ontario. He buys spices in small lots, so the raw spices are not claimed as Canadian-grown.

Ultimate parent: Fire in the Kitchen Co.
Manufacturing: Canada (town not named)
Ingredient origin: Bought spices, blended in Canada
Official claim: Made in Canada since 2009
