Dad's Classic Oatmeal Cookies

Dad's Cookies, particularly the Classic Oatmeal variety, is a beloved Canadian snack staple with deep historical roots. Originally introduced in the early 20th century by the Dad's Cookie Company, the brand became a household name across Canada for its signature crunchy texture and wholesome oat flavour. The Canadian rights to the brand were famously associated with the Christie Brown & Company, which was a titan in the Canadian baking industry for decades.

Today, Dad's is a prominent brand under the Christie label in Canada. The manufacturing primarily takes place in Canadian facilities, maintaining the brand's local heritage. The ultimate ownership of the brand lies with Mondelēz International, a global snacking powerhouse formed following the spin-off of Kraft Foods' snack division. Mondelēz manages the brand through its Canadian subsidiary, ensuring that while the ownership is global, the product remains a quintessentially Canadian snack.
