Is Rolf C. Hagen Inc. Canadian?
The short answer
Nutrience is a brand of Rolf C. Hagen Inc., a Quebec company founded in 1955 and now in its second generation of family ownership, with its head office in Baie-d’Urfé. This is one company record rather than a separate Nutrience entry, because the Canadian facts belong to Hagen. Manufacturing is partial: the company describes a British Columbia kitchen it part-owns, and it also operates a pet food plant in Waverly, New York, so a blanket made-in-Canada claim across every Nutrience product would overstate what the company says.
Head office: Baie-d’Urfé, Quebec, Canada

What “Canadian” means for this brand
These are separate facts and we keep them separate. A company can be Canadian-owned and manufacture abroad, or foreign-owned and manufacture here. Each line below carries its own evidence and its own date.
Canadian-owned company
YesThe company that owns the brand is Canadian. This says nothing about where its products are manufactured.
Rests on documented corporate history rather than promotional wording: a named Quebec head office and continuous family ownership since 1955.

How we check this
Every claim on this page links to the source we read and the date we read it. We take origin and manufacturing statements from a company’s own site, its packaging, or a government record, and we do not infer where something is manufactured from who owns the company. Ownership and manufacturing change independently, so each claim is dated separately. The oldest check on this page is from 2026-09-09.
Spotted something out of date? Tell us and we will re-check it.
