Five Roses All Purpose Bleached White Flour
The wheat is named. The mill is not.
Five Roses says this bleached white flour is made from Canadian wheat blends. The page points it at cakes, cookies, breads, dough and pie crust. It is a refined flour, not a whole grain one.
Smucker Foods of Canada bought the Five Roses brand in 2007. The history page still lists that owner. It names an 1888 mill in Keewatin and never names the plant that grinds this bag.
The sustainability note covers the whole line: 100 percent Canadian wheat, and Non-GMO Project Verified. A 2.5 kg bag is the size on the pack photo.

Company’s own label claim: “Made from the finest Canadian wheat blends”
Unclear where it is milled. The brand page credits prairie grain for this bleached bag. An American food company has held the name since 2007. No current plant is named.
