Canada’s largest ice cream manufacturer is making progress in efforts to move away from ingredients sourced out of the United States.
Chapman’s Ice Cream, based in Markdale, Ontario, has been working to reduce its reliance on American companies.
The company is on track to convert over 70 per cent of American ingredients used to those produced in Canada or non-U.S. countries by mid-2027.

It is now working with suppliers to produce some ingredients that have never been produced in Canada before.
The company says it supports the Canadian government in its decision to walk away from trade talks last week.
Chapman’s says that while the transition could result in higher costs for the company, a price freeze is in effect until at least March 2028.
