We are headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta and serve manufacturers across Canada — from coast to coast — with samples, technical support and Canadian regulatory expertise.

Yes. Reach out via the contact form and tell us about your project — target profile, application, volumes and timing. Our team responds within one business day and can dispatch samples with full documentation.

Do you offer product development and innovation services?

About

Taste, palatability & product innovation — built for Canada.

Flavas Canada is an Edmonton-headquartered supplier of flavours, natural colours, palatants and functional ingredients, working with Canadian manufacturers across food, beverage, pet food and animal feed. Our three divisions — Human Food, Pet Food and Animal Feed — pair focused technical expertise with a curated global partner network so every brief moves from concept to commercial launch faster.

We operate the way modern R&D teams need us to: samples out quickly, documentation and regulatory support in-country, and application guidance from people who understand Canadian formulation, sourcing and shelf realities. Whether you are launching a new beverage line, reformulating a legacy SKU for sugar reduction, developing a premium pet food or improving feed intake in a livestock ration, we can help you get there.

Rooted in Edmonton

We operate from downtown Edmonton because Canadian manufacturers deserve a Canadian partner — one who understands CFIA, Health Canada and the realities of cross-country logistics and cold chain.

Global partner network

We represent leading European and international flavour houses and ingredient producers in Canada — bringing decades of craftsmanship, modern flavour science and specialised functional ingredients to every project we take on.

Built for partnership

We are not a catalogue. Our team works shoulder-to-shoulder with your R&D, procurement and marketing groups to land the target profile, hit the cost model and accelerate the launch window.

What we do

Flavour systems

Sweet, savoury, dairy, beverage, botanical and masking flavours in liquid, powder and emulsion formats.

Natural colours & ingredients

Clean-label colours, sweeteners, acidulants, emulsifiers, functional proteins and preservation systems.

Palatants & feed additives

Palatability enhancers and functional additives for pet food and animal feed applications.

Product development

Custom flavour creation, reformulation, sugar and sodium reduction, plant-based masking and pilot trial guidance.

How a project runs

Most briefs converge within two to three submissions, because we evaluate in your matrix, at your dosage, under your process conditions — not in a water solution on a bench in another country.

01 — Brief & benchmark
We start from your target profile, process window, label constraints and cost model, plus a benchmark sample where one exists.
02 — Submission & application trial
Samples ship with dosage guidance and full documentation, then get evaluated in your actual application.
03 — Iterate to the profile
Reformulation rounds continue until profile, stability and cost-in-use all land together.
04 — Scale-up & supply
Pilot support, CFIA / Health Canada specification and regulatory packs, then reliable commercial supply into your plant.

Our values

Craft
We treat flavour and formulation as both science and art. Every submission reflects that.
Trust
Documentation, traceability and batch-to-batch consistency — the fundamentals, done exceptionally well.
Speed
From sample request to commercial supply, we move at the pace your launch window needs.
Partnership
We invest in long-term relationships with our customers and our supplier partners — because the best products come from teams that stay together.
