Christie Newtons Fig Cookies

Christie Newtons, specifically the Fig Newtons variety, are a classic snack with a rich history in North America. The Newton cookie was originally invented in 1891 by Charles Roser at the Kennedy Biscuit Works in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was named after the city of Newton. In Canada, the brand operates under the Christie label, which was founded by William Mellis Christie in Toronto.

Today, the brand belongs to Mondelez International, a global snack giant. While the brand has deep Canadian and American roots, production is currently spread across multiple North American facilities, including large-scale bakeries in both the United States and Mexico, to serve the Canadian market. The packaging features bilingual labeling (English and French), which is standard for products distributed throughout Canada.
