Canadian Snack Food Association

Snack Foods in Canada

The Canadian snack food industry consists of establishments that are primarily engaged in the manufacture of savoury or salty snacks which include potato chips, tortilla chips, hard pretzels, popped popcorn, processed seed snacks, roasted peanuts and other nuts, and pork rinds.

Canadian consumers appear to like snack foods and, in fact, eat them almost every day. Snack foods have been one of the fastest growing product categories in the domestic market in recent years and are widely available in all retail channels across the country, including major chain grocery retailers, large format outlets, corner stores, drug stores, gas stations and vending machines as well as at movie theaters and sporting events.
