Robin Hood Original All Purpose Flour 10 kg
The pack shot says 10 kg.
This white flour is ground from hard wheat blended with soft wheat. Robin Hood gives the bag 18 months from the day it was packed. One cup replaces one cup of the whole wheat all-purpose in the same line.
A 2016 all-purpose lot was traced by the CFIA to Ardent Mills in Saskatoon. Retail sales sit with Smucker Foods of Canada. The parent firm is American. The product page never names a country for the grain.
Keep the paper bag dry, at room temperature. Do not taste raw dough. Bake the batter before anyone eats it.

Our Canadian score
Some Canadian ties
Partly. Inspectors tied a 2016 run of this all-purpose to Ardent Mills in Saskatoon, while the retail trademark sits with an American parent. The grain's country is not on the page.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Robin Hood Original All Purpose Flour made in Canada?
A 2016 lot was. Inspectors linked that October milling of Robin Hood all-purpose to the Ardent plant in Saskatoon. The seller is the Canadian arm of Smucker.
Who owns Robin Hood Original All Purpose Flour?
J.M. Smucker. Its Canadian arm has sold the Robin Hood name since the 2004 purchase of International Multifoods. The mill itself was sold on later.
How long does this Robin Hood flour keep?
18 months from the pack date. The brand FAQ says a freezer can stretch other flours by about three months. It tells you to freeze whole wheat always, not this white bag.
Can I use this flour in a bread machine?
Yes. The Robin Hood FAQ says all-purpose still works in a machine. It also says Best for Bread carries more gluten and suits yeast dough better.
Is it safe to taste dough made with this flour?
No. The product page tells you not to taste raw batter. It also says to wash bowls, utensils and hands after the flour is out.
Does the bag name the wheat's country?
No. The original Robin Hood page only describes a blend. The country of the grain is left off that page.
