Neal Brothers Foods

The vendor states it is a family-owned Canadian business founded by brothers Chris and Peter Neal in their parents' kitchen in Aurora, Ontario in 1988, and still describes itself as family-owned and Canadian 36 years on. Corporations Canada's federal registry returns zero results for "Neal Brothers" (the search mechanism was confirmed working against a known federal corporation), consistent with a small business incorporated provincially in Ontario; the Ontario Business Registry blocks automation and was not checked.

The vendor states its cheese puffs, salsa, pasta sauce and BBQ sauce are made in Ontario, while corn chips, tortillas and pretzels are made by a US co-packer, having moved there after the Canadian manufacturer that once made them closed; the vendor says it is still looking for a Canadian replacement. That splits the eight product lines on the current site roughly in half between Ontario and the US.

• About Us - Neal Brothers Foods vendor_statement “Most of our products—including our cheese puffs, salsa, pasta sauce, and BBQ sauce—are proudly made in Ontario with both domestic and imported ingredients. However, our corn chips, tortillas, and pretzels are currently produced just across the border in the USA.”

The vendor says its Ontario-made products use "both domestic and imported ingredients" but does not give a country breakdown, and gives none at all for the US-made snack line. This mix is an estimate: some domestic produce for the Ontario salsa and sauces, imported corn and inputs for the US-made chips and pretzels, and imported tomato, oil and spice inputs typical of salsa and snack production counted as OTHER.
