Frequently Asked Questions About Canadian Chips & Crisps

What chips are made in Canada?

Covered Bridge kettle-cooks in Waterville, New Brunswick, and Hardbite fries in Surrey, British Columbia. Lay's, Ruffles, Miss Vickie's and Doritos sold here are fried by Frito-Lay Canada at plants in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Alberta. Old Dutch fries from Winnipeg for a Minnesota parent. Cape Cod and Kettle Brand are imported from Campbell's US plants.

Are Lay's chips made in Canada?

Yes. Lay's bags on Canadian grocery shelves are fried by Frito-Lay Canada from homegrown Canadian potatoes. Frito-Lay Canada lists plants in Cambridge, Ontario; Levis, Quebec; Kentville, Nova Scotia; and Taber, Alberta. PepsiCo of the United States owns the Lay's trademark through Frito-Lay, so the chips are Canadian-made and American-owned.

Are ketchup chips only in Canada?

Ketchup is a core Lay's flavour in Canada, sold by Frito-Lay Canada, which is why people ask whether ketchup chips exist only here. Other countries have offered ketchup chips at times, but the flavour is a grocery staple in Canada in a way it is not in the United States. The bag is still a PepsiCo product fried in Canadian plants.

Are Cape Cod chips Canadian?

No. Cape Cod is a Hyannis, Massachusetts kettle chip owned by The Campbell's Company. Campbell's closed the Hyannis plant in April 2026. Remaining Cape Cod production stays at US plants in Beloit, Wisconsin; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Hanover, Pennsylvania. Bags on Canadian shelves are imported.

Who makes potato chips in Canada?

Frito-Lay Canada fries Lay's, Ruffles, Miss Vickie's and Doritos at four Canadian plants. Old Dutch Foods Ltd fries from a Winnipeg head office and four Canadian plants for a Minnesota parent. Covered Bridge is a family chip plant in Waterville, New Brunswick. Hardbite is British Columbia's chip plant, in Surrey.

Are Lay's dill pickle chips made in Canada?

Yes. Lay's dill pickle is a Canadian grocery flavour fried by Frito-Lay Canada, the same PepsiCo division that makes other Lay's bags here from Canadian potatoes. It is not a separate Canadian-owned brand. The plant list is Cambridge, Ontario; Levis, Quebec; Kentville, Nova Scotia; and Taber, Alberta.
