About Us

Established in 1987, North Bay Trading Co is a family business which delivers high quality food to commercial and retail customers.
Our commitment to you:
Food Quality and Food Safety. Ingredients are screened by quality and time elapsed from harvest. For example, our dried ingredients are fresh vibrant pieces, versus small faded bits, and our Canadian wild rice is wild harvested from pristine northern lakes and is 100% certified organic. Of course, food safety is a high priority. In addition to meeting all legal standards, we sign up for voluntary third party food safety inspections, with participation in AIB food safety inspections. Our Unannounced Inspection Report shows we keep current. Also, we keep current with Kosher and Organic certification programs.
Check out our food safety page for more details on food safety.
Healthy. We use only 100 percent natural GMO free ingredients. Our products are generally low in sodium and a great source of vitamins and minerals. There are no artificial additives.
Flexibility. Our products are available in both retail bags and economical bulk sizes. They are ready to be used as ingredients in homemade soups, Italian dishes/pizza, gourmet side dishes, blended drinks, salads, desserts, and more!
