I've seen a few posts about Canadian products and companies and they leave a lot to be desired or have incorrect or old information.

So, I went looking.

This site is updated regularly and has all your grocery needs. From coffee to tofu and everything in between.

Makes me happy that I see many of these brands and products in my local stores. Some of which I already buy.

Also when it comes to food, I suggest people seek out local bakers, butchers, and produce markets. You will get better quality goods and possibly save a buck too.

Is there some easy way to scan the UPC code on a product and find its country of origin?

That's what my tool is working towards! It uses OpenFoodFacts data. Right now you can manually type in the UPC codes to search

London Drugs has a filter on their homepage called “proudly Canadian”. Quite handy when looking to switch brands.
