Corporations Canada's federal registry lists Tom And Sawyer Inc. (934252-4) as an active corporation whose only two individuals with significant control are co-founders Kristin L. Matthews and Peter AP Zakarow, both listed at a Toronto address. The company's own terms of service name Tom And Sawyer Inc. as the site operator, and the CANADA List directory describes it as a privately owned Canadian business, consistent with the registry.

The vendor's own timeline describes a single Canadian production chain: a flagship kitchen opened in Toronto in 2016, registered with the FDA in 2018 so it could start shipping to the US without relocating, and replaced in 2023 by a Safe Food for Canadians licensed human-food facility whose address is not disclosed. Its science page repeats "Made in Canada," and the CANADA List directory corroborates that meals are prepared in-house in Canada.

Corporations Canada lists the registered office at 33 Bloor Street East, Toronto, with both directors at Toronto addresses. The vendor's own history describes one flagship Toronto storefront and kitchen opened in 2016 with no other site named since, so staff are treated as concentrated there.

The vendor describes ingredients only as "restaurant quality" and "Non-GMO" without naming source countries, and its own science page does not break down where meat and produce come from. The CANADA List directory states the meals use Canadian-sourced ingredients, but a directory listing alone does not raise confidence above reported, and specialty proteins such as kangaroo are plausibly imported, so this split is an estimate weighted toward Canadian sourcing.
