TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (NYSE: THS, Oak Brook, Illinois) owns the Bick's, Habitant, Woodman's and McLarens pickle brands, bought as trademarks and inventory from J.M. Smucker in January 2024. E.D. Smith, once a TreeHouse brand, went to Winland Foods in TreeHouse's 2022 divestiture and is excluded from this card. No Canadian plant for the pickle brands was confirmed; production appears concentrated at TreeHouse's US facilities.
Switch: Sole owner is TreeHouse Foods, Inc., a US public company; the pickle brands were acquired as trademarks and inventory with no Canadian plant confirmed, so manufacturing also traces to TreeHouse's US facilities.

The January 2024 purchase from Smucker was pickle branded assets only (trademarks and inventory, no plant); TreeHouse's FY2024 10-K properties list has no Ontario or BC facility historically tied to pickle production, and Bick's own Dunnville, Ontario plant closed in 2011 with production having already shifted to US plants before this deal. TreeHouse also carries an existing US subsidiary, Pickles Manufacturing LLC. No specific plant for Bick's was named in any source found.

Bick's pickle ingredients (cucumbers, water, white vinegar, salt, dehydrated garlic) carry no origin claim on the product page. Given the shift of production away from Ontario since the 2011 Dunnville plant closure, most cucumbers are assumed US-grown, with a smaller Canadian share and other inputs (seasonings) unconfirmed.
