Strong Canadian ties
Company’s own label claim: “Baked Across Canada”
Villaggio Toscana Extra Soft Sausage 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.
