Is French's Canadian?

Owned by US spice company McCormick, but French's ketchup for the Canadian market is made in Toronto using tomatoes grown in Leamington, Ontario. A clear case where foreign ownership and Canadian production point in different directions.

What this verdict means

The product is manufactured in Canada by Canadian workers, but the company that owns the brand is foreign. Your money supports Canadian plants and Canadian supply chains; the profit leaves the country. Whether that counts depends on what you are trying to support.
