Apetito Canada Limited Opens New Ottawa, Ont. Mfg. Facility

OTTAWA — apetito Canada Limited, a manufacturer of meals for healthcare and community programs, has opened a new facility in Ottawa, Ontario. To mark the expansion — part of the company’s ongoing investment in Canadian operations amid a growing scrutiny of food labelling — apetito will host a ribbon-cutting celebration on September 22, 2025, with community partners and dignitaries.

apetito Canada Limited says that concerns have been growing across Canada about products branded with Canadian imagery while being manufactured outside the country. apetito Canada says it produces meals in Ontario, for a variety of seniors communities and healthcare programs.

“Canadians deserve to know where their food comes from,” said Graham Clermont, President, apetito Canada Limited. “Our food is crafted by people who know good food—chefs, registered dietitians, and culinary experts who care deeply about every bite. It tastes incredible, and, more importantly, it serves a greater purpose: making a real difference in the lives of those we serve— all prepared in Canada, for Canadians. In an industry where others have cut corners, we are proud to be transparent, accountable, and authentically Canadian.”

With the backing of the apetito Group, an international food company founded in Germany in 1958, apetito Canada has reportedly operated in Canada since 2007. In a press release, the company says that the new Ottawa facility expands production and strengthens the company’s ability to grow further across Ontario.
