Which cookie brands are made in Canada?

6 of the 9 top cookie brands 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Canadian Cookies

What cookies are made in Canada?

Dare Bear Paws and Wagon Wheels, Voortman wafers, Christie Peek Freans and Real Treat cookies are baked in Canada. Dare prints Made in Canada from domestic and imported ingredients. Voortman chocolate chip packs say Prepared in Canada. Peek Freans cartons say Baked in Canada. Oreo Original bags do not. Chips Ahoy plant pages skip that brand.

Which cookie brands are Canadian?

Dare and Real Treat are Canadian-owned cookie bakers. Dare is a Cambridge, Ontario family firm dating to 1889. Real Treat bakes in Cochrane, Alberta. Voortman still bakes in Burlington but is owned by Michigan-based Second Nature Brands. Christie and Oreo belong to Mondelēz International. Chips Ahoy and Pepperidge Farm are imported grocery names.

Are Dare maple cookies made in Canada?

Often yes, but not always. Dare is Canadian-owned in Cambridge, Ontario, and five of nine plants are in Canada. Cookie bags can also come from US plants. The brand tells shoppers to look for a Made in Canada badge on the pack, including maple creme cookies.

What soft baked cookies brand is in Canada?

Dare Bear Paws is the soft baked cookie brand people search in Canada. The chocolate chip paws are pouch-packed and printed as made in Canada from domestic and imported ingredients. Chips Ahoy Soft Chunky is a soft grocery cookie too, but Mondelēz Canada plant pages do not name that brand.

Why are Chessmen cookies not available in Canada?

Pepperidge Farm Chessmen are American butter cookies, not a Canadian bakery line. Campbell Soup of Camden, New Jersey owns Pepperidge Farm. Some Canadian grocers still stock Chessmen, but supply is uneven, so shoppers hit empty shelves. The cookies are not baked here.

Which cookies are only available in Canada?

Christie Peek Freans Family Digestive and Fruit Creme are Canadian grocery biscuits baked at East York. Dare Bear Paws grew from a Quebec line into a national kids cookie. Voortman wafers started in Hamilton. Oreo and Chips Ahoy are global brands that also sell here, so they are not Canada-only.
