We are targeting a late summer return to shelves. Products may arrive at different times depending on the retailer and region.

If you’d like to see Yves back at your local store, be sure to let your store manager know you’re on the lookout – they’ll know there’s interest when it’s time to place orders!

Right now, our focus is on bringing select Yves products back to Canadian shelves. We don’t have any announcements regarding other markets at this time. 

We’ve worked to rebuild our Yves Veggie Cuisine recipes as closely to the beloved originals as we could. In some cases, however, ingredients or spice blends used before are no longer available or we had to adapt to our plant processing operations and equipment. As a result, some products may taste or look a little different than before. We know how much these products mean to Yves fans. Your feedback helps us understand what matters most to you and where we can do better. What products do you hope to see? What was your Yves experience? Drop us a line! 

The current nutrition facts have been updated and are accurate according to Health Canada’s regulations.

In cases where the recipe wasn’t identical, nutrition facts are updated.  For example, Mexican Ground Round now has more sodium from the updated seasoning blend. Veggie Bologna now has more calories and more protein from the new protein blend.

Separately, you may notice serving sizes themselves have changed which is not necessarily a recipe change. Serving sizes are now based on Health Canada’s standard reference amounts. When comparing nutrition per 100g, most values are close to where they were labeled previously, except for the two products mentioned above.
