Canadian white is a style of bread produced by several bread companies including Pepperidge Farm, and J.J. Nissen. It is heartier than regular white bread, and is of a thicker consistency. J.J. Nissen also offers other Canadian style breads. Notable that the term Canadian white is not used at all in Canada, similar to usage of the term Canadian bacon.

[edit] Protein content

Because the Canadian Grain Commission requires relatively high protein amounts in Canadian wheat, Canadian white flour usually has a protein content of 12-13%.[1][2] This contributes to the hearty consistency of Canadian bread.
