Food, health, and consumer goods manufacturing provides more than 350,000 Canadian jobs in more than 10,000 facilities throughout every province—and it has the power to create up to 100,000 more manufacturing jobs. 

Our members make up more than 75% of what is sold on store shelves, and our sector adds nearly $14billion to the economy every year. We provide good-paying jobs, buy the majority of what Canada’s farmers grow, and make the essential grocery and drugstore products families rely on every day.

At FHCP we recognize that above all else, Canadians want:

• An affordable life with everyday essentials that don’t break the bank.
• Good, local jobs that help keep small towns and big cities thriving.
• A reliable source of essential, quality food, health, and consumer products that they use every day.

In this 2025 election year it’s more important than ever for all Canadians to urge our political leaders to prioritize food, health, and consumer goods supplies as key to resilience and self-reliance for your community and all of Canada.
