Clark Maple Style Beans
Quebecers have kept this maple can since 1907.
White beans sit in maple syrup, brown sugar, glucose-fructose and plain sugar. Salt, natural flavour and caramel colour finish the sauce. A may-contain line lists soy.
Cordon Bleu packs Clark in Anjou. The company story places the recipes in Montreal, the city where William Clark began in 1877. This page never names the bean farm.

Company’s own label claim: “Prepared in Montreal”
Clark Maple Style Beans are a Quebec grocery can. Cordon Bleu prepares the Clark line in Anjou, inside Montreal, and the brand dates the maple recipe to 1907. The page does not say where the white beans were grown.
