- Not a health food store, but, they are the only place in the
  Montreal/Ottawa area at the moment that sells Tofutti Better Than
  Creamcheese. They buy it bulk and package it themselves to get
  around the Canadian packaging laws that made Better Than
  Creamcheese illegal. They also sell Tofutti dairy-free sour cream
  and an assortment of fruit ices and other hard to find items.
