Canadian Vegan and Plant Based Food Brands

85+ Canadian Vegan & Plant-Based Food Brands

by

We love that the Vegan Directory exists. As long-time vegans, we agree that fellow vegans and their businesses should be acknowledged and supported as much as possible.

Recently, the prospect of tariffs and counter-tariffs between Canada and the United States has unexpectedly arisen. Due to the possibility of rising prices, we all want and need more than ever to find Canadian vegan and plant-based food brands and products.

Together with Susan, we have compiled a list from several different online sources. These businesses produce or sell vegan or plant-based products, but we can’t confirm if they are all owned by ethical vegans.

Let us know if we’ve missed anything that would be widely available, and we can add it to the list. And if you are (or know) an ethical vegan who owns a business, please submit that business to Vegan Directory. Thanks!
