Potatoes. French Fries. Taters. You love them, we make them.

In fact, we make 1/3 of the world's frozen potato products and if you have eaten fries this week, chances are, they were ours.


McCain Foods is committed to becoming an employer of choice for diverse employees where leaders, structures and interactions encourage individuals to thrive while being their authentic selves.

As a global, family-owned company, we understand the importance of providing an environment free of discrimination and harassment - where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, can contribute fully, and have equal opportunities.

Diversity is about ensuring we have the right mix of people in our business.

We know that it enhances our business when our workforce reflects the diversity of our customers, suppliers, consumers and communities around the world.

With sales in more than 160 countries and a team of 22,000 people living and working all over the world, we are proud of - and fully embrace - the diversity of our team.

This respect for diversity is central to our values.

Inclusion is about how we work together. We foster an inclusive culture where everyone can deliver their best performance and be their authentic selves.

Equity is the fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all people, while at the same time striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of some groups.


As a family-owned food business with humble beginnings in rural Canada, McCain's values are at the heart of everything we do.

We know that embracing diversity and inclusion requires a focus on equity, ensuring that all people, including those in historically marginalized groups, have the opportunity to grow, contribute and develop.
