Canadian production and content
Maximum 70 points
70Verified “Product of Canada” — generally at least 98% of direct production costs incurred in Canada, with the final substantial transformation in Canada.
45Verified “Made in Canada” — generally at least 51% of direct production costs incurred in Canada, with the final substantial transformation in Canada, often with imported components.

Points are never awarded because a product
has a maple leaf on the packaging
uses “Canadian” in its name
is merely sold on Amazon.ca
was founded in Canada but is now foreign-owned
is packaged in Canada with no further evidence
uses imported materials it does not disclose
has high Amazon review counts
What counts as Canadian?
“Product of Canada” and “Made in Canada” are different claims with different thresholds, and neither is the same as Canadian ownership. We print the claim the source supports — never a stronger one.
Product of Canada
At least 98% of the direct production or manufacturing costs are Canadian, and the last substantial transformation of the product happened in Canada.
Made in Canada
At least 51% of the direct production or manufacturing costs are Canadian and the last substantial transformation happened in Canada. The claim normally carries a qualifier such as “with imported parts”.
Canadian-owned
The company is Canadian-owned. The item itself may be manufactured or sourced elsewhere, so ownership is never the same claim as manufacturing.
Packaged in Canada
The product is filled, roasted, blended or packaged in Canada while major ingredients or components are imported. On its own it is not a manufacturing claim.
Designed in Canada
The product was designed or formulated in Canada but manufactured elsewhere. It carries no Canadian production content.
Every claim on this page has to be supported by an official manufacturer page, the Amazon.ca listing itself, a government source, or another credible published source. Each product's evidence links are listed on its card. Where a claim cannot be supported, we withhold the points rather than assume them.
Claims can change
Formulations move, suppliers change and packaging gets updated. Confirm the current Amazon.ca listing and the packaging in front of you before you buy, and tell us when something looks out of date.
