Illustrative comparison of three food products showing MAPLE Scores of 18%, 68% and 91% Canadian ingredient origin.

What’s the MAPLE Score™?

The percentage of a food product’s ingredients that are Canadian—calculated by ingoing weight and supported by evidence.

See How It Works

One number. Three disclosures.

MAPLE Score™ separates ingredient origin, processing location and brand ownership—so Canadians can understand what each claim actually means

  • 68%

    Canadian ingredient origin, calculated using ingoing ingredient weight.

  • Processed in Canada

    Where the product is made, packed or manufactured.

  • Canadian-owned

    Who actually owns or controls the brand.

Illustrative example. The percentage measures ingredient origin; processing location and brand ownership are shown separately.

Why ask: What’s the MAPLE Score™?

Because origin claims, maple leaves, processing location and brand ownership can each mean something different. None tells you, on its own, how much of the product’s ingredients are Canadian.

MAPLE Score™ provides the missing, comparable percentage.
