Nutritious,
Delicious Food
We’re on a mission to address the most pressing diet-related health issues we face as a society.
We’ve been changing and improving taste, nutrition, affordability and sustainability of our products. We believe that the future of protein is cleaner, tastier and nutritionally superior.
Eating nutritious food is important
Understanding how to read food labels and knowing the right amount of food to eat each day is important in maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Here’s how we’re helping Canadians:
1. Making easier-to-read labels
We’re simplifying and increasing the legibility of our packaging and making the nutritional labels simpler and easier to read. This way, you can compare nutritional information of our products more quickly and easily. Our Maple Leaf branded products carry our ingredient list on the front of the package!
We make
Simple, Nutritious Food
We changed how we make our Maple Leaf® products to meet a growing demand for healthier prepared meat products. We use only real, simple and natural ingredients that you can pronounce. What you get is high-quality protein, great taste, and real food with nothing artificial. Perfect for the whole family to enjoy.
