Food, Health & Consumer Products of Canada

Canada's most trusted brands — every day, in every home, on every shelf

For over 60 years, Food, Health & Consumer Products of Canada (FHCP) has proudly stood as the largest national industry association representing companies that manufacture and distribute the vast majority of everyday products found in every Canadian household. Our commitment to excellence and innovation ensures that Canadians have access to the highest quality food, health products, and consumer goods.

Leading the way in manufacturing employment

The food, health, and consumer product manufacturing industry is the backbone of Canada’s manufacturing sector, employing over 350,000 Canadians across more than 10,000 facilities in every province. From bustling urban centers to rural communities, our members transform Canada’s rich agricultural resources into value-added finished goods that feed families at home and around the globe. This extensive network not only supports local economies but also drives national growth and prosperity.

Healthy homes and communities

The 350,000 Canadians working in our industry make the products that nourish, care for, comfort, and bring joy to Canadians every day. By choosing safe, affordable, and convenient products, Canadians ensure the well-being of their families and contribute to the strength of their communities. From farms to facilities to local grocery and drug stores, our industry is the backbone of strong, healthy communities across the nation.

Building a healthy Canada

Our commitment extends beyond the products we make; we are dedicated to contributing to a vibrant economy and a sustainable healthcare system while protecting our natural resources. By empowering Canadians with self-care options and supporting the healthcare system, we help build a healthier Canada.

FHCP members’ trusted brands have been part of Canadian households for generations, embodying a legacy of trust and excellence that continues to shape the future of our country.
