Canadian Cream Cheese Brands

Philadelphia cream cheese sold in Canada is made at Kraft Heinz's Mont-Royal plant in Montreal, with Canadian dairy, but the company is American. Lactantia cream cheese uses 100% Canadian milk and is owned by Lactalis of France. Tre Stelle makes feta in Prince Edward Island and other cheeses in Ontario, while its cream cheese tubs carry a Danish plant code from Holstebro. No Name and Compliments are the Loblaw and Sobeys labels.
