Crystal margarine

Crystal is a well-established brand of margarine that has been a staple in Canadian kitchens for decades. Known for being a non-hydrogenated, vegetable-based alternative to butter, it is primarily marketed for baking, cooking, and spreading. The product is deeply rooted in the Canadian food industry, maintaining a reputation for consistency and value.

Originally developed within the Canadian food processing sector, the brand is currently owned and manufactured by Upfield. Upfield is a global leader in plant-based nutrition, having acquired the spreads business from Unilever. This transition marked a significant shift in ownership, placing Crystal under a specialized portfolio focused on sustainable and plant-based food products.

Today, Crystal margarine continues to be produced in Canada to serve the local market. Its ownership by Upfield ensures that it benefits from global research and development in plant-based fats while maintaining its heritage as a trusted brand for Canadian consumers looking for cholesterol-free dairy alternatives.
