Our Products Are Proudly Canadian

At GANAAN, we take immense pride in ensuring that our products meet the highest standards of Canadian manufacturing and sourcing. Our commitment to quality and authenticity is reflected in our adherence to the "Product of Canada" and "Made in Canada" labeling guidelines. These designations are not just statements; they are assurances to our customers that they are purchasing goods that uphold Canadian values of excellence, sustainability, and reliability.

Understanding "Product of Canada" and "Made in Canada"

The Canadian Competition Bureau has set clear definitions for these terms to ensure transparency and accuracy in product labeling. These guidelines help consumers make informed purchasing decisions while maintaining the integrity of Canadian-made goods.

1. Product of Canada: A product can only carry this label if at least 98% of its total direct costs (including ingredients, processing, and labor) are incurred within Canada. This designation ensures that nearly every aspect of production occurs domestically, from raw material sourcing to final assembly. When consumers see "Product of Canada" on GANAAN items, they can be confident that they are purchasing goods that are truly Canadian in origin and production.
2. 

   Made in Canada: This label applies to products that are substantially transformed in Canada and have at least 51% of total direct costs originating from Canadian sources. To provide clarity to consumers, products labeled "Made in Canada" must also include a qualifying statement, such as "Made in Canada with domestic and imported ingredients." This distinction ensures that while some components may be sourced internationally, the majority of the work to create the final product happens within Canada.

3. GANAAN products will be labelled with the Made in Canada label because we don't want to misrepresent our products in anyway. You can be assured that our products far exceed the 51% of total direct costs and are exceeding 90% of total direct costs going into the manufacturing and assembly of our products. Our finished, physical products are 100% produced in Canada, in almost every case, it's the packaging that drops us down below that 98% threshold. We wish that it was not the case, but the economics don't make it feasible to add packaging produced in Canada that will usually be disposed of once opened.

GANAAN’s Commitment to Canadian Craftsmanship

GANAAN follows these stringent requirements to ensure compliance with labeling regulations. Our products proudly carry the "Product of Canada" or "Made in Canada" labels, depending on their composition and sourcing. This transparency underscores our dedication to supporting Canadian industries, ensuring local economic growth, and providing consumers with high-quality goods they can trust.

Our manufacturing and assembly processes are conducted within Canada, employing skilled workers who bring precision and care to every product we create.

Additionally, GANAAN is not only committed to ensuring our products meet the highest Canadian standards, but we are also 100% Canadian-owned and operated. Our company is proudly founded and run by a Canadian Armed Forces Veteran, reinforcing our dedication to supporting Canadian businesses, workers, and communities.
