Beatrice Foods Canada

Beatrice Foods Canada Ltd. is a dairy unit of Parmalat Canada based in Toronto. The Canadian unit of Beatrice Foods was founded in 1969 and separated from its American parent firm, Beatrice Foods in 1978.

Consequently, Beatrice's Canadian operations were not affected by the buyout of its founders and remained in business as one of Canada's largest food processing concerns. In 1997, Beatrice Foods Canada was acquired by the Italian conglomerate Parmalat. Parmalat initially dropped the Beatrice name from its products but the name was reinstated in late 2005 during which the parent company was being investigated.

Beatrice Foods Canada also owned companies in Canada such as Modern Dairies, Crescent Creamery, Royal Dairies and Standard Dairies in Manitoba. Sven Jensen was the president of the western operations until 1990.
