PepsiCo's own Canadian sustainability page states that resource-conservation programs "have been in place in our Frito Lay Canada manufacturing plants for over a decade," confirming a multi-plant Canadian production network for the snack brands (Lay's, Doritos, Ruffles, Miss Vickie's, Smartfood, Tostitos); the commonly reported sites are Cambridge (ON), Kentville (NS), Lévis (QC) and Taber (AB), though this session could not independently confirm each city. Quaker's major Canadian mill, confirmed via Wikipedia, is in Peterborough, Ontario. A minority of specialty or overflow snack items is assumed to come from Frito-Lay's larger US plant network.

No published sourcing breakdown was found. Quaker's Peterborough mill likely draws heavily on Canadian-grown oats given Canada's position as the world's largest oat exporter. Potatoes for Lay's and Miss Vickie's are typically a Canada/US mix common to North American chip production, and corn for Doritos and Tostitos is predominantly US-grown. Cocoa, palm and other tropical oils used across the wider snack portfolio are imported from outside North America. This split is an estimate, weighted toward the snack brands' greater shelf prominence.
