Robin Hood Whole Wheat All Purpose Flour
The bran stays in this grind.
Robin Hood gives this flour a rich, nutty taste, and the page says the bran is why it has fibre. It covers everyday baking. Leave chiffon and angel food to a finer white flour.
Smucker Foods of Canada sells the brand. A 2018 report said Ardent Mills grinds Robin Hood flour on a co-pack. This page does not name the wheat country. It is not the all-purpose lot from 2016.
Shelf life is 15 months from the pack date. The photo shows 2.5 kg. One cup replaces one cup of the original white flour. Keep it dry and do not taste raw dough.

Our Canadian score
Some Canadian ties
Partly. Smucker Foods of Canada sells this whole wheat flour, and 2018 reporting puts the grind at Ardent Mills inside Canada. The bag page never says where the wheat was grown.
Score breakdown (50% evidenced, medium confidence)
“Smucker's Canadian arm sells Robin Hood flour and baking products in the retail and grocery market, with flour milled by Ardent Mills under a co-packing agreement.”
“In addition to Robin Hood flour and oats, our core consumer brands include Smucker's, Uncrustables, Jif, Adams, Eagle Brand, Folgers, Carnation and Golden Temple.”
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 whole wheat flour made in Canada?
The brand line is. Trade coverage in 2018 named Ardent as the miller on a Smucker contract. This whole wheat bag was not the 2016 all-purpose recall.
Who owns Robin Hood whole wheat flour?
The J.M. Smucker Company, through its Canadian foods arm. The old mills moved to a Cargill joint venture in 2006.
Can I swap this for white flour?
Cup for cup, the page says, against both the original white flour and Best for Bread. The crumb will taste nuttier because the bran is still there.
How long does Robin Hood whole wheat keep?
15 months, counted from the date of manufacture. Store the bag clean and dry at room temperature.
Is raw dough safe?
No. The page repeats public health advice: bake batter first, and wash bowls with hot soapy water after you handle the flour.
