New Item Submission Process

Thank you for your interest in Healthy Planet. Healthy Planet's process is for the Grocery, Dairy, Frozen, Bulk, Vitamin, Body Care, and Produce Departments. If you are submitting an item for any of these departments, please read these pages carefully and submit your product information via the process. If you would like to submit an item for the Meat, Seafood, Bakery, or Deli departments, please send your contact and product information to support@healthyplanetcanada.com. Please note, any and all submissions, or any other action by vendors in this system shall be deemed an offer to Healthy Planet, not a commitment by Healthy Planet, or binding on Healthy Planet in any way whatsoever.

Category Review

Healthy Planet welcomes new item submissions for most categories throughout the year, however, some of our categories follow a ‘Submission Calendar’. This means that we request all items for those categories be submitted in the same time frame. Please check our Submission Calendar for details about when to submit your items.

For those categories that do have a specified submission period, we strongly encourage you to submit your items within that timeframe. This ensures that your products will be included in the collection of items to be considered. Please note that submission periods are subject to change at any point in time without notice. We recommend that you check back on a regular basis for any updates to the Submission Calendar.

Additionally, if you do not find the category in which to submit your item, please send your brand/item information to support@healthyplanetcanada.com for assistance.
