Data-Backed Canadian Food Verification

Localize verifies whether individual food products meet clearly defined criteria for localness, including Canadian and regional identity. We support large-scale Buy Local, Buy Regional, and Proudly Canadian campaigns, verifying thousands of products and businesses across complex vendor networks. Our retail partners rely on us to uphold campaign standards with rigorous, ongoing verification — even across multi-year programs.

With over 15 years of experience and a powerful software platform, Localize offers the most cost-effective and credible solution for food origin labeling. Our service combines automation with expert review to ensure compliance with federal labeling laws and CFIA regulations — while maximizing visibility and trust on the shelf.

More than 2,650 Canadian food companies are already verified and supported through our platform, giving us the proven capacity to launch national programs quickly and at scale.

Tailored, Transparent, Compliant

Localize customizes each verification program to meet your specifications — delivering product-level clarity on what qualifies under your unique Canadian identity initiative.

We assess:

  • Where the product is produced or manufactured

  • Where the vendor business is owned

  • Where the ingredient originated

  • Regulatory alignment, including CFIA labeling compliance

Our mission is to make Canadian food identity transparent, credible, and easy to implement — for brands, retailers, and consumers alike.
