Virtually all ice cream sold in Canada is made in Canada because of the Milk Marketing Board. The same goes for virtually all dairy products.

What percentage of the cost of ice cream comes from US sources? Ice cream base is cream/milk egg and sugar. Chocolate doesn’t grow in the US, nor does vanilla. Maybe some nuts and fruits would come from the States. Anything else would be chemical stuff like artificial flavours, emulsifiers, stabilizers and preservatives. Packaging?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for what Chapman’s is doing but I wonder how much is symbolic and what it actually means to the price of a tub of ice cream.
