Fruité Grape Drink
Purple in the bottle, and not a pure juice. The 2 L Fruité grape drink starts with water and a sugar blend, then apple or grape concentrate.
Lassonde calls the Fruité line locally made. The grape page names Industries Lassonde inc. and does not pin this flavour to one town. Colour comes from amaranth and brilliant blue FCF.
It sits on the shelf, not in the cooler. After opening, the brand gives you 10 days. Allergens on the page are listed as none.

Strong Canadian ties
Company’s own label claim: “Locally made”
Yes, a Canadian Lassonde drink. Fruité Grape Drink is a 2 L shelf-stable bottle, not 100 percent juice. The page lists water, a sugar blend, and apple or grape concentrate, and it does not name one plant.
Score breakdown (60% evidenced, medium confidence)
“the campaign highlights what distinguishes the company founded in Rougemont, Quebec: delicious, locally made beverages under brands that Canadians love.”
“In 1990, Fruité became Lassonde’s first product to be sold across Canada.”
“Registered Owner INDUSTRIES LASSONDE INC. Att: Département des affaires juridiques 755, rue Principale Rougemont QUEBEC J0L1M0”
This score is our own read of publicly available evidence, not a regulatory finding. It is not a CFIA or Competition Bureau origin determination, and it is not the same as the "Product of Canada" or "Made in Canada" claims a manufacturer prints on a label.
