Becel Original Vegetable Margarine

Becel is a prominent brand of margarine and spreadable fats, specifically known for its heart-healthy positioning. The product shown is a vegetable-based spread, manufactured in Canada as indicated by the "Fait au Canada" label, utilizing a blend of domestic and imported ingredients including canola and palm oils.

Originally launched in the 1960s by Unilever in response to medical requests for healthier fat alternatives, the brand has deep roots in Western Europe and North America. In 2018, Unilever sold its global spreads business to KKR, leading to the creation of Upfield, which now serves as the ultimate owner. Upfield is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and continues to operate as the world's largest producer of plant-based spreads, managing the brand across various international markets including Canada and the United Kingdom (where it is primarily known as Flora).
