Is Voortman Bakery Canadian?

Founded by Dutch immigrant brothers in Burlington. Sold by Canadian owner Dare Foods to US-based Hostess Brands in 2020; Hostess was later acquired by Smucker. Still baked in Burlington.

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.
