Canadian milk is known around the world for its clean, fresh taste and high-quality standards. Dairy farms follow strict best practices regarding the protection of the environment and the treatment of animals.
We source milk from regional farms because it is safely and ethically produced. Artificial growth hormones, like rbST, are not permitted in Canada and controlled measures are in place to prevent antibiotics from entering the milk supply.

Our Story
We have grown from a small family owned business to a trusted international supplier of specialty ingredients for large scale processors and top tier brands. We are headquartered in Abbotsford, BC, with a second plant in Winnipeg, MB. Follow along with us on our specialized ingredient journey…
Transition from egg to dairy
Driven by new customer opportunities, we used the same technology to concentrate egg whites to develop one of the first whey protein products in the market.
Vitalus Nutrition Inc. is formed
In recognition of the demand for quality dairy ingredients, Vitalus was established to develop the global market for dairy proteins.
Milk processing begins
To continue to meet changing market demands, we diversified our portfolio with the launch of our milk protein concentrates (MPC1700 & MPC1800) for industrial applications.
First product extension
Supporting the needs of customers wanting a heat-stable MPC, we developed an MPC1800 HT to increase the heat stability for hot beverage applications.
Reaching new market segments
An increase in demand for high protein, low lactose ingredients led to the development of low lactose MPC1850 and milk protein isolate (MPI) for the active lifestyle and healthy aging segments.
Growing with our customers
We expanded our footprint by increasing our processing capacity in Abbotsford, BC, and we built a second facility in Winnipeg, MB, doubling our total capacity.
Reaching new generations
We expanded our product offering into the Infant and Growing Up segment with the launch of VITAGOS™ (Galacto-oligosaccharides).
