E.D. Smith Jam

E.D. Smith is a heritage Canadian brand that has been a staple in kitchens for over a century. The company was founded by Ernest D'Israeli Smith in 1882 in Winona, Ontario, originally focusing on growing fruit before expanding into the production of jams, jellies, and pie fillings. The brand became widely known for its commitment to using quality ingredients and traditional recipes, solidifying its place as a leading name in the Canadian food industry.

Today, E.D. Smith continues to manufacture its products primarily in Canada, maintaining its long-standing connection to the Ontario region where it began. The brand has undergone several ownership changes in recent decades to expand its reach. It was acquired by TreeHouse Foods, an American multinational food processing company, which helped integrate the brand into a broader North American distribution network while preserving its Canadian identity and manufacturing base.
