Clark Baked Beans

Clark is a classic Canadian brand of baked beans with a history stretching back to the late 19th century. Originally established in 1877 by William Clark in Montreal, the brand became a staple in Canadian households, known for its traditional recipes including beans with pork, tomato sauce, and maple syrup flavors. The brand's heritage is deeply rooted in Quebec's culinary tradition of slow-cooked legumes.

Over the years, the brand has undergone several ownership changes. It was notably part of the Culinar group before being acquired by Lassonde Industries. Lassonde, a major Canadian agrifood company, maintains the brand's legacy by continuing production within Canada. Today, Clark beans are primarily manufactured in facilities located in Quebec, ensuring that the product remains a localized, domestic favorite for the North American market.

As of the mid-2020s, Lassonde Industries remains the ultimate owner, managing the brand through its specialized food divisions. The company focuses on maintaining the authentic taste that has defined the brand for over 140 years while expanding its distribution across major retail chains in Canada and parts of the United States.
