Voortman Chocolate Chip Cookies 228 g
A maple leaf on this 228 g bar says Prepared in Canada. Two cookies weigh 38 g and list 180 calories. Health Canada flags high saturated fat and sugars.
The bakery began in Hamilton in 1951. The Globe and Mail says the cookies still come from a leased plant in Burlington, Ontario, with about 300 workers. Second Nature Brands of Michigan bought Voortman in 2024. CapVest Partners is behind that owner.
Real chocolate chips go in the dough. No artificial colours or flavours is printed on the wrap. Egg, milk, soy and wheat are in the allergen line, with almond, oat and pecan as may-contain.
