Tallow & Fries At Tallow & Fries, we specialize in crafting frozen foods that are natural, minimally processed and avoid the use of seed oils and food additives.

We've started with beef tallow fries made of only three ingredients. Eat what you know. Love every bite.

🍟 Think your fries are just potatoes, oil, and salt? Think again.

Most commercial and frozen fries are loaded with sodium acid pyrophosphate (SAPP) and related phosphate additives. These keep the fries from turning gray or discolored during processing and freezing. They’re approved by Health Canada and the FDA as “GRAS” (Generally Recognized as Safe)… but that label doesn’t tell the full story.

High intake of inorganic phosphates from ultra-processed foods has been linked to risks like vascular calcification, bone loss, kidney strain, and heart issues — especially when your diet is heavy in packaged foods. It’s surprisingly easy to exceed recommended levels over time.

At Tallow & Fries, we do things differently: just potatoes, 100% beef tallow, and a pinch of seasoning. No additives. No shortcuts.

That means you’ll occasionally see natural after-cooking darkening (ACD) — a harmless, well-documented non-enzymatic oxidation reaction. It happens when iron in the potato reacts with chlorogenic acid after frying and cooling, and it’s often worsened by cold storage of the raw potatoes. The fries still taste great and are perfectly safe (our team expertly sorts out any real defects like bruising, rot, or sprouts).

Recently, several of our batches were affected by noticeable ACD, making them unsaleable in stores. It was a tough hit, especially as we’ve been investing in our new facility and growing.

Instead of throwing them away, we donated several pallets of these almost-perfect fries to the Mississauga Food Bank. Almost 3,000lbs of fries!

We’ll admit — we hemmed and hawed at first, worrying about how it might affect our brand’s reputation. In the end, we couldn’t justify wasting good food over a cosmetic issue. Real integrity means feeding people, not chasing flawless looks.

No issues since, but we wanted to share this with our community. It’s what additive-free really looks like in practice. We’ll soon have options at preventing ACD, but until then, we’ll just keep frying.

Check your labels. Choose better. Support brands that skip the chemicals and value real food.

We’re thrilled to announce a major milestone for Tallow & Fries - our delicious fries have officially been listed with all and stores across Ontario through their Local program! This means our foods are now authorized for distribution in a total of 200+ stores province wide (70+ Sobeys Locations and 130+ Foodland locations), bringing our commitment to better-for-you foods closer to communities all across Ontario.

As we roll out into these stores over the coming weeks and months, you’ll start spotting our full lineup of fries in the frozen aisles: our classic straight cut fires, crispy thin cut fries, and naturally sweet potato fries. Each one is made with the same dedication to quality that defines Tallow & Fries - using only natural, whole ingredients and absolutely no seed oils. We believe in frying the right way, prioritizing health without sacrificing that irresistible taste and crunch. Our fries are free from harmful additives, making them a wholesome choice for families, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone who cares about what they eat.

We couldn’t have reached this exciting stage without the incredible support from the team at Sobeys. A huge thank you to Sheri Evans, who leads the Ontario Local program and the Sobeys’ Grocery Merchandising team, for believing in our vision and helping us bring Tallow & Fries to more Ontarians. Their passion for supporting local producers like us has been instrumental, and we’re deeply grateful for the opportunity to partner with such a forward-thinking retailer.

While we’re actively moving into each store, we know our fans are eager to get their hands on our fries right away. If you don’t see Tallow & Fries on the shelves at your local Sobeys or Foodlands yet, we encourage you to speak up! Ask your store manager, frozen food manager, or natural/organic food manager to stock our products - your voice can make all the difference in accelerating our arrival. Together, we can ensure that delicious, seed oil free options are available where you shop.

Yours,
Tallow & Fries Team

Taking this idea from small batch operations and now building a new home that will serve the entire country, we’re grateful for every step of this journey.

This empty space? It’s where our new chapter begins. A lot of late nights and big dreams led to this moment. Soon, no matter where you are in Canada, our fries will be there too! Feels unreal.

Let us know in the comments where you’d like us to head to first.

200+ Locations!

One year ago today, Tallow & Fries was barely more than a concept built on the simple belief that Canadians deserved better tasting, healthier, seed-oil free food in the grocery aisle.

Today, we’re truly humbled and blown away by the support. You can find our fries in 229 retail locations across Southern Ontario. From Windsor to Ottawa, Niagara Falls to Barrie, we’re proud to be on the shelves of independent grocers, specialty stores, and butcher shops – and, most recently in major chains like Healthy Planet, Whole Foods Market and Longo’s.

None of this would have happened without you.

Thank you for every tag, for every “10/10” text, every time you asked a store manager to carry us, and especially every moment you’ve served our fries at your table. Bringing us into your homes.

We’re dreaming of the day when every Canadian can walk into their local store and choose between our Straight Cut, Thin Cut, or Sweet Potato Fries. Well, we just took another big step closer to making that a reality.

We’re excited to share we’re in the early stages of retrofitting a much larger facility so we can scale production and bring our fries to even more neighbourhoods across Canada (and beyond) in the new year.

It’s going to be big and we can’t wait. (Celebratory promotions inbound!) 🎉

We couldn’t have done this without our incredible team, the unwavering support of our retail and distribution partners, our friends and family, and every single one of you, our valued customers.

More to come. Thank you for being part of the journey.
