US EditionWhy Bick’s Pickles Are Getting Harder to Find on Canadian Shelves
Some Canadian retailers are removing Bick's pickles due to tariffs raising costs and promoting domestic brands; Bick's uses 11 million pounds of Canadian cucumbers annually, experts say.
- In July 2025, some Canadian retailers placed signs in stores like Winnipeg stating that Bick's Pickles are unavailable due to tariffs.
- This situation developed after Canada applied counter-tariffs in response to the tariffs that the U.S., under President Trump, implemented in March 2025.
- TreeHouse Foods, a U.S.-based company owning Bick's Pickles, confirmed some retailers chose not to stock the product due to increased costs from tariffs.
- Business analyst Ian Lee noted that while the actions are intended to challenge Donald Trump, they end up negatively affecting Canadians, with Canadian tariffs impacting the jar.
- Experts warn this policy aimed at pressuring Washington reduces consumer choices, raises prices, and hurts domestic competition and Canadian farmers.
