Neilson 1% Chocolate Partly Skimmed Milk

Neilson is a classic Canadian dairy brand with a history dating back to 1893 when William Neilson began producing ice cream and later chocolates in Toronto. While the confectionery division was sold off decades ago (becoming what is now known under the Cadbury brand in Canada), the Neilson dairy brand remained a staple in Canadian households.

Today, Neilson dairy products are manufactured and marketed by Saputo Dairy Products Canada. The milk is sourced locally from Canadian dairy farmers, as evidenced by the 'Made with Canadian Milk' logo on the packaging. The brand is synonymous with high-quality dairy in the en-CA market, particularly in Ontario and Eastern Canada.

Ownership has transitioned through several major Canadian food companies over the years. Originally part of William Neilson Limited, it was later acquired by George Weston Limited. In 2008, the Neilson Dairy assets were sold to Saputo Inc., which remains the ultimate owner and operator today, maintaining the brand's headquarters and primary operations within Canada.
