Yves Veggie Cuisine, a popular Canadian plant-based meat brand, was previously facing closure in August 2025 due to a decision made by its former owner, Hain Celestial Canada. However, in January ownership of the Yves trademark was transferred to Maple Leaf Foods, a major Canadian meat producer, giving hope for the brand's revival. The president and chief operating officer of Maple Leaf Foods, Adam Grogan, confirmed that Yves Veggie Cuisine is set to return to store shelves with six products on July 1, coinciding with Canada Day.

Maple Leaf Foods sees Yves Veggie Cuisine as a gateway brand for consumers looking to incorporate plant-based protein into their diets in a more approachable way. Despite concerns from some customers about the brand being owned by a meat giant, the return of Yves Veggie Cuisine has been eagerly anticipated by many fans. With potential new products on the horizon, the resurrection of Yves is a positive development for those who enjoy the brand's plant-based offerings.
