Original

Dempster's Original Bagels are a classic Canadian bakery staple, sold in a pack of six pre-sliced bagels totalling 450 g. Made with enriched wheat flour and light rye flour, they contain no artificial flavours or colours.

These bagels toast well: crisp outside, soft and fluffy inside. Use them for breakfast with cream cheese, build a lunch sandwich, or cut them into mini pizzas for a quick snack. Dempster's has baked bread for Canadian families for over a century, and these bagels fit that everyday, dependable role.

How Canadian is this product? Dempster's is owned by Bimbo Canada, which operates 17 bakeries across the country and employs more than 4,000 people here. While the bagel product page does not spell out a specific plant location, Bimbo Canada states its breads are made by Canadians, for Canadians, at facilities from coast to coast.
