The buns are baked in Bimbo Canada bakeries across Canada. Villaggio is a Bimbo Canada brand. Grupo Bimbo of Mexico bought Canada Bread in May 2014. The Canadian head office is in Etobicoke, Ontario. Wheat and flour for Villaggio fresh bakery products are sourced from North America.
The last published list starts with enriched wheat flour, water, and wheatlets, plus natural olive oil flavour. One bun (73 g) has 180 calories, 2 g fat, 35 g carbohydrate, and 6 g protein. It may contain milk and eggs.
Store them on the counter until the best before date, or freeze them for up to two months. They are not gluten-free. Read the bag, because Villaggio bakes in multiple plants.

Company’s own label claim: “Baked Across Canada”
Villaggio Rustico Ciabatta Buns are baked in Canada by Bimbo Canada, a Grupo Bimbo subsidiary. Wheat and flour are sourced from North America, so they are made here with mixed continental grain rather than a Product of Canada bakery item.
