Canada's Hot Sauce With a Purpose

THANKS Red Leaf is a proudly Canadian hot sauce on a mission: deliver the bold, tangy flavour you love—made entirely in Canada—while giving back to youth mental health.

We're taking on the imported brands that have dominated Canadian kitchens for too long. Same heat. Local heart. Every bottle supports the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Why THANKS?

For years, Canadian staples like Caesars and wings have defaulted to American hot sauce. With rising tariffs and a growing appetite for local alternatives, we saw an opportunity to do things differently.

THANKS isn't just a swap—it's a statement. A proudly Canadian option that matches the consistency and flavour you know, while keeping dollars in our communities and supporting a cause that matters.

From the Ground Up

Every step of THANKS is rooted in Canada.

Our peppers come from CanAm Fresh in Aylmer, Ontario—one of the country's largest pepper producers. Our sauce is bottled at Hummingbird Foods, a trusted Canadian facility known for precision and quality.

From field to bottle, we're building something that stays within our borders. Because we can do it ourselves.

Heat Into Hope

THANKS is more than a condiment. It's a purpose-driven movement backed by the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Camille Quenneville, CEO of CMHA Ontario, has publicly endorsed our mission. MPP Bob Bailey recognized THANKS in the Ontario Legislature as an example of local innovation driving national impact.

Every purchase supports youth mental health programs across Canada.

Backed by Experience

THANKS comes from Top Shelf Canada, a proudly Canadian food company with signature hot sauces already stocked in over 500 retailers—including Real Canadian Superstore, Metro, Sobeys, Whole Foods, Fortinos, and Canadian Tire.

We're not new to this. We're just ready to go bigger.
