Quality is at the heart of everything we do, and just like our restaurant partners, we aim to see that expression of delight on people’s faces when we deliver the best in quality every day.  

As part of the world’s number one dairy company, with more than 140 years of brand heritage right here in Canada, we take great pride in our local craftsmanship and global know-how to offer the highest quality of wholesome and nutritious products to Canadians. 

For the Goodness of Dairy 

We know that dairy is recognized by Health Canada as an excellent food source, providing many of the essential nutrients that Canadians require for a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle at all ages and stages of life*. 

We also know that *1 in 5 Canadians are lactose intolerant. From lactose-free milk, yogourt and cheese, Lactalis Canada offers an array of lactose free products certified by the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation so that Canadians with digestive sensitivities can enjoy all the nutritional benefits of dairy without compromising on taste.  

The Blue Cow Logo 

Over 650 of Lactalis Canada products carry the Dairy Farmers of Canada’s Blue Cow logo – a widely-recognized symbol for products made with 100% high-quality, nutritious Canadian milk, produced in accordance with some of the most stringent food safety, milk quality, traceability, biosecurity, animal welfare and environmental stewardship standards in the world.  

Local, Responsible Sourcing 

The pandemic has shown us that not only is local or Canadian sourcing good for the environment, it is essential to ensure consistent ingredient supply to efficiently meet consumer demand.  

From our ingredients to our packaging, we source from trusted and respected suppliers that adhere to the highest standards of ethical, sustainable and responsible sourcing and we continue to expand our Canadian and local sourcing programs, adopting several well-known assurance seals such as the Blue Cow logo, as well as the Made in Ontario and Aliments du Québec certifications. 

Organic 

In 2022, we more than doubled the volume of organic product offered, with the launch of seven Olympic-branded organic product skus across our yogourt and fluid milk categories, includinglarger 1.75-kg format Olympic Organic yogourt and 4-litre jugs of Olympic Organic milk, both providing larger size formats in 100% recyclable packaging.
