Voortman Bakery is a renowned Canadian brand specializing in a variety of cookies and wafers, famously known for being one of the first North American bakeries to eliminate trans fats from its products. Originally founded in 1951 by Dutch brothers William and Harry Voortman, the brand still maintains its core heritage while expanding its footprint across the globe.

The cookies are primarily manufactured in Canada, specifically in Burlington, Ontario, where the company's dedicated facility produces goods for distribution across North America and several international markets. The brand identity is deeply rooted in traditional baking values, emphasizing the use of real ingredients and no artificial colors or flavors.

In early 2026, the brand remains a significant part of the global snacking portfolio of The J.M. Smucker Company. Smucker's acquired the brand (via its acquisition of Hostess Brands) to broaden its presence in the sweet snacking category. This ownership ensures that Voortman products benefit from a sophisticated global supply chain while maintaining the original Canadian quality that consumers expect.
