Meatless fast food chain Odd Burger is expanding in the US despite recent tariffs on Canadian products.

Odd Burger produces plant-based proteins and alternative dairy products at its manufacturing facility in Ontario. This in-house production helps the company minimize external supply chain disruptions, maintain product quality and reduce costs, even in challenging market conditions.

As part of its expansion, the company plans to replicate its vertically integrated supply chain model by sourcing ingredients locally and building its manufacturing facility in the US.

Odd Burger CEO James McInnes says this approach will help the company mitigate the effects of current tariffs and provide a more resilient supply chain in the US.

“Our experience in Canada has shown that a vertically integrated, localized supply chain is key to controlling costs and maintaining high-quality food production,” he added.

 “We are confident that by implementing this strategy, we can expand quickly while keeping prices stable and offering the same level of excellence that our customers expect.”
